Week 6 - Internet is Superhighway :)

Superhighway?? I don't have any idea about that. But for me, it is a internet connections. One of the early nicknames for the Internet was the "information superhighway" because it was supposed to provide the average person with fast access to a practically limitless amount of data. For example, Imagine a car (a file, for instance) parked in parking lot A (a computer). The car needs to get to parking lot B (another computer located miles from the first computer). In order to get to the other parking lot, the car had to be driven (retrieved) on the highway. From the highway, the car gets on the freeway or interstate (the superhighway), and then gets on back to the smaller highway leading to parking lot B. While on the highways and freeways, that same car travels along with lots of other cars (other files being retrieved) on their way to other parking lots. The car reaches parking lot B and stays there. The Internet is a worldwide computer network made up of thousands of autonomous networks run by no one. It's one vast superhighway formed by many converging highways, the computers or separate networks.

For these networks to be able to communicate with each other, they use a common set of protocols called the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol or the TCP/IP. TCP/IP is defines that computers use in order for them to be able to exchange information and communicate within the network.  Popular discourse would have us believe that the Information Superhighways will just be a faster, more powerful version of the Internet. Many people use their internet using a modem or router like Wi-fi, Smart Broandband, MyGlobe etc. From now, so many people using internet faster and they can connect to the internet through cellphones. Internet is important to us because it can gives information to us, we can communicate with other peoples, you can watch video and movies from internet or listen to your favorite music, play online games, and more. But Internet sometimes gives virus or bad communication like porn sites, so internet is not always good and safe.

Week 5 - MMA Family :)

    MMA Family?? That is my second family. I had a great time with my brother and sisters in Multimedia Arts. My Classmates in MMA was so funny, kind, and friendly.

Me, a Multimedia Arts student, proud to say that MMA  is the best, no one can replace me as a Multimedia Arts student.

Week 4 - The Value of TEAMWORK!

What is a team and why is teamwork important? There is a popular saying that goes: "no man is an island" and this is true. In my career I have experienced working alone and working with a team. I only experienced working alone once, and it was hell. Sure, you get to do things right on your own but you end up burned out and it gets lonely overtime.We are social beings whether you accept it or not. One cannot forever deny the fact that he has to get along well with people in order to survive. When I say survive, I don't mean merely to eat, drink or breath. I'm sure you get the idea. In this article, I will attempt to give appreciation to "you" on the value of teamwork. The concept of teamwork is extremely important to the success of any team. All coaches talk about working as one unit, as a unified team. Teamwork and unselfishness create the backbone of a great team, without them a team cannot realistically compete. You can have a group of superstars, but if they do not work well as one unit, chances are they are not going to be as successful as you would think. The team working as one cohesive unit is going to be the key in their success. o succeed at the task in hand everyone involved needs to combine their efforts. If everyone does their job well, then it increases what the team can accomplish. This teamwork has to be recognized by everyone and know that great things can happen if individuals master the fundamentals and work together as one unit. Everyone has their own unique role, but each person's individual role must be recognized and appreciated. Teamwork is something that must be a high priority and given constant attention. Every player needs to understand how important it is for them to work smoothly together if they want to be successful. Each player must be dedicated to the whole team and be willing to act unselfishly. When challenges arise (as they always do), the team needs to have the resources, accountability and commitment to deal with them in a constructive and positive manner. A sense of teamwork will play an integral part in this.

Just remember T.E.A.M. - Together Everyone Achieves More!

Week 3 - The changes of communication to technology

      As civilization has evolved, so has communication technology. From letters to phone calls to email, basic communication methods have consistently progressed into to the complex systems we have today. As humans continue to become more dependent on technological communication, such improvements will continue to be made. Modern day communication technology has essentially made interaction instantaneous, inexpensive and concise. Except for in-person, speech-based communication, it could be argued that all communication is technologically based. With the advent of written language -- itself a kind of technology -- humanity experimented with varying forms of technology to record their thoughts. From the stone tablet to parchment to the printing press to computers, our methods of written communication have continued to change, although several remain in use simultaneously.
       Technology has increased exponentially nearing the end of the 20th century. There are now so many new means of communications that looking back at a decade ago, you would be surprised at all of how technology has progressed since then. The internet has become a new mode of communication which branches off into web cam conversations, instant messaging, email and social networking sites. Another main mode of communication that is dependent on today is the cellphone, almost everyone has one now a days. The internet has allowed people to communicate with one another from and to any part of the world. Web cam conversations for example allow people to see the person they are communicating with along with their voice. This is a more personal type of communication, it is fast and allows you to reach people at any corner of the world as long as they have a web cam and an internet connection. Instant messaging has also been becoming more and more popular. It is also a main source of communication among many people (especially the younger generation). Instant messaging allows people to talk to each other through writing instantly. Social networking sites are fairly new but it allows users to add their friends and send them messages. There are many options available in these sites such as messaging, chatting and uploading photos which you can connect to your friends and family.
