DAY.eleven

yOx..
Let's talk about the WIKI, that the class had been doing during the weekend. The topic the class received was "Implications of assuming another person's identity on the internet". It seems to be a good thing that the class had organise different tasks to do beforehand. It actually allows the class members to do and focus on their part. Frankly saying, the topic we were given was pretty tough. Personally, it took me quite a while to understand. With the help of the facilitors, I managed to understand quite a bit.

Everyone holds different responsibilities, and most importantly, within the group we have to help with each other. I am involved in the group that take charge of the Types and Techniques. It was not very easy, because during the research there are actually things that we need to consider before we can write down the information. We also must be careful of the sources that we references from. We need to check the reliability of the resources and the coverage. These are basically the main factors that we need to check out on. Not only getting the content area done, there are also case studies and videos that we had included in the WIKI. Thanks to everyone, that we made the WIKI a good work. Haha~


Today we went through the topic about youtube, going through the different factors such as the positive and negative points and the future of youtube. Youtube itself is already popular. Probably if you were to ask 10 people about which website produce the most videos or are popular with the videos uploaded, they would probably all say YOUTUBE. It is in everyone's mind. Amazingly through this exercise I learnt more about it, and indeed youtube still can move on for a very long time. It acts as a platform for people to put up their videos and view it.

Personally, if youtube disappeared to somewhere in future, I would not really go crazy and cry or die over it. There are still other websites that produce videos, like veoh.com, crunchyroll.com and more. As a web surfer, I do not really go into youtube every now and then and get crazy over it. I still can survive without youtube. However, if that day were to happen, I probably will at most feels a little uncomfortable because I have one less place to watch my entertainments and do my research on.


That's all for today...
