Week 2
Overview
Overview
Enjoyed the Tutorial today.Set up Blogger.com, heard the analysis of the survey from the week before, learnt there was a space on the drive that I can save with my student number & discussed "opposing" New Communication issues and had to sheepishly admit that I occasionally reference Wikipedia even though I know it is not an accurate source...and finally,discussed the topics raised at the Lecture related to the question "is email dead?" which I will summarize to the best of my ability :
- Phishing or fishing?
- Scams or Spam?
- Politics or Propaganda
Discussion Questions Raised in Tutorial Post Lecture:
1.Are Bloggers Journalists? ( I dated a Journalist blogger Once ?)
Link for an example of a journalist blog = http://nymag.com/news/features/44454/
2.How accurate are their sources? (Hmmmm....As a blogger, my current source is my fellow classmates, which means if statistically they take away 10% of the lecture [as quoted by Chris Mamozelos] then my breakdown would be lucky to cover 2%..interesting)
3.Are there ethics or morals involved? (Have read about this, but believe that it is all a matter of perspective, and depends, despite basic rules of conduct, if the Blogger himself has these attributes it also would depend largely if money was involved.)
4. What is true and what is false? ( In this particular case...There is honesty involved in this blog, however, it is based on false or misleading interpretations! )

Thanks alot. Nah I use explorer, I mainly get flooded by spam emails really...Would there be a benefit to using firefox?
Absolutely..I swapped to Firefox about 2 years when a friend who works in Silicon Valley recommended it.That is also when I effectively starting getting no spam...It was the first to have tabbed browsing which I like and it blocks pop ups and it has lots of cool extensions.It is also proven to have a higher level of security.I highly recommend it!
