Reflections
After a myriad of tasks and a huge amount of data, I am an Avatar with a new found awareness of cause and effect. Technically my skills and knowledge has been enhanced for the better. My overall view after absorbing all this information supplied in class and the lectures..is one that the world benefits from technology and media advancement. Just recently I have read that the international IQ has been growing every 2 years and that they originally thought that it was due to diet but now feel it has to do with the rapid rise of technology. The last and specific task was to examine the differences between instant messenger programs (such as Skype and MSN) and 3D chat rooms. On many levels we have already touched on this during tutorials and the 2nd life documentary. Put simply, Instant messaging programs are simple, convenient and allow users to communicate and link on a very relaxed basis, from experience I know that most people use these to keep in touch with family, business associates and friends. 3D chat room sites have a higher degree of communication because you can create a character that moves flirts ect. As well as text, however contrary to what has been said, I personally believe it is not as intimate as you are more likely to interact with strangers and portray an exaggerated version of yourself which is about as real as the Avatar you create.
