Lecture 5

Well hello again!!

Surprised to see you here! How have you been? Enough chit chat, we have a lot to get through!!

Lecture 5 was one of the best so far. Well, that or last week, where we were watching awesome town!
*Come along with us!* *clap clap**come along to awesome town!* Good times.

This lecture was all about web 2.0 - Compared to web 1.0 (which, really, doesn't exist). It's the new web, just like a new generation! From what I understood of he lecture, Web 2.0 is a more 'user friendly' style of Internet, that has more features (including security) for users.

Also, is a more "read-write" style of content, where users can add information to pages (Such as Wikipedia, and even blogs)

We also looked at "Social Media" With the promise of getting over 100 followers I put the term "social media" into one of my tweets. Alas, No such luck! Perhaps everyone IS a social media expert... but I guess that just goes against the general definition of 'Expert'

The question "Are we consumers or creaters" was posed in the lecture, that really got me thinking, because we are definately consumers of the internet, we view things that really aren't ours..... But, on the other hand, if you have a facebook or a twitter then you are a creater, because you create something that other people consume!! I think therre is no clear line as to weather you are a consumer or creater, nor should there be!

Thanks to the lecture, I am not addicted to 'lamebook' - it's hilarious... I logged onto 'arsebook' - but quickly left... i'm not entirely sure how that is appropriate/relates to social media? Looked like a porn site to me?!



Until the next chapter....
