This week we used Windows Movie Maker to make a practice mini movie-essay. This was really fun. I like doing practicals more than theory. It is more creative.
Looking at the readings for week 10 was a shocker! There were so many. Thats not cool. Although there were many, it was not all that boring. catchy titles such as "Does internet create democracy?" By Alinta Thornton and "The Internet's Fading Promise" by Becky Hogge, made me want to read them even more.
The article by Alinta Thornton is about the Internet being used in a way that will enable the public to come across a new understanding or in other words a new democracy. The Internet is said to have the power of that of a printing press in promoting democracy.
The article by Becky Hogge is about content-filtering. Her article covers the story of how different countries have different levels of power and discipline when it comes to content-filtering an how it is affecting the Internet as a whole.
The lectures were very interesting. it dealt with the future of the Media. Using the Internet, Media will be virtual and not paper and ink.
