Blog vs Wiki

Wiki is a collaborative website which can be edited to anyone who has access to it. Wiki is a website that allows users to edit and posted online document that with the time they have to keep update it. It provides information to the public and at the same time educated the people. In the article “More on How to Build Your Own Wikipedia” by Margaret Locher states that “diverse organization, including businesses, schools and government agencies, are waking up to the benefits of wikis”. In wiki we find any information about thousands of subject. Wiki is mostly use for the public to get information about a subject and it benefits them in different ways, such as, student use it as a preference for their assignment.

In the other hand Blog is a more a journal website. For me Blog is like a social network because you have access to the user information and pictures. It also maintained the user comments in a chronological order. Blog is useful for the public because it allows the users to write whatever they feel. But it does not educate the public how Wiki does.

Wiki and Blog improve communication online in different ways, such as, both spread information around the world. They also can be used for collaboration because they allow their users to express themselves and edit important documents or subjects. They allow their users to share their posted with the general public.

Old vs News Media

As we may know media is anything that can communicate to people. In the past with had a media that wasn’t that faster as the one that encompass today. We classified the old media as the newspaper, radio and television. When we had those media, we would have to wait for a certain times to be communicated, such as in order to read the newspaper we would have to wait for the morning or evening. Also, sometimes we were not that inform about what were happening on other countries. During the era of the old media, we were kind “outdated.” But definitely, the new media came to renovate the old version of the media. We consider new media to everything that require a digital computer for the distribution or exhibition, such as, newspaper online, social networks, eBooks, blog, wiki, Google, and YouTube. Thanks to this new media we are better informed, we can see different versions of news. We are better informed of what is happening of other countries or even read other countries newspaper. The new media gave us the opportunity to meet new people from anywhere in the world. Now we can be informed immediately as a tragedy happen anywhere, and we have available the newspaper updated anytime that we want to read it. The new media definitely make our life easier than the old media.

Social Networking: Better or worse than the real thing?

Social networks are new media that renovate the social life for most of the people. As users of the different type of social networks site, such as, MySpace, and Facebook, we might be happy to have a Facebook or MySpace because it is for us to meet new people and contact our old friends. But have we ever thought what the real thing is for social networks or if it really exists for our benefit. My research paper going to explain what is the real thing of social network. Also, what are the advantages and disadvantages of been part of a social network. Basically my research paper is going to analyze what is the dark part of those social networks.

What is New Media?

New media are new type of communication systems that replaced the old types of media. As we may know that in the past we considered media to the newspaper, radio, magazines, and television in which we didn’t need the internet to access them. New media is any type of media that require a digital computer for distribution and exhibition, such as newspaper online, eBook, social networking, wiki, blogs, and YouTube. The article “The New Media and Technologies” by Friedman states that “Today, old media are almost always paired with new media – newspapers and magazines have online versions, as well as their own blogs, television networks produce a great deal of online content related to their programming, etc.” The new media have been enhancing the old media because the old media with the time have been updating themselves to pair with the new media. The new media is something that came to renovate the world of the communication.
