Chapter 2: 19 years old boy who has 43 years

                              The new digital medium

New digital medium like internett and smartphone makes smaller difference between media producer and media user. Pc has been called "everything possible box" becouse you can listen to the radio, watch tv, read e-mail, chat and surf on the internett. You can use pc or mac to share sound, videos, texts and different messages. On different pages it's possible to blogg and comment.

This chapter is about New Media. With new media i mean things that has been in use in last 15-20 years.

From reading to blogging:

In these day we got cheap high tecnology. This means that our possibilities are much bigger than few years ago. It's possible to normal people make a high quality product.

We can share our things on the internett. This possibility made us medium senders. A lot of people started with blogging. Most popular in blooging these days is cooking and fashion bloggs. But if someone got a problem and they can't solve it so they can just write it on a blogg and they get an answer from people who knows how to solve the problem or who had the same problem. Main idea is to find the right blogg.

Here are some sites that helpes to make a blogg:

www.wordpress.com

www.blogger.com

www.tumbrl.com

www.weebly.com

Nobody is editor of the internett:

We are  habit that what we hear and see on internett is mostly correct. These media has editors that are legally responsible. It means that everything what has been shared is quality assured.

We know that a lot of stuff on internett are mostly correct but not everything. The thing is that we have to learn to see difference between real and fake information. A lot of people are using chat sites. They have to see and know when someone is talking true and when someone is lying. A lot of people though that they were talking with someone on their age but it was someone else who is much older.

E-mail,SMS,blogging and chatting:
Email can be recieved whenever and reciever don't needs to be online to get it. Messages will be saved and reciever can read them whenever he or she wants. Email is newer version of post sending but it happens on pc.

 Homepage:
Some years ago it was hard to make a site but today it's easy with standard programs we use daily. It's  very possible that You has already made a site or you are gonna make it. In homepage we present  ourselves with pictures, text and animation. Personal sites are often made for friends or special kind of people that we has chosen. For example this blogg is made to my school and people who wants to learn about media and communication. But rememember that everyone can read it or your work giver can search your name to find out something about you.

Chatting:
We write while we chat but it happens in oral way. We write same way as we talk. When you write email to anyone he hasn't be online but if you chat so both of you have to be online.

Blogg:
Blogg is something between personal site and open discussion site. Blogg is a kid of "web logg". Most popular kind of blogg is a diary. People write how they feel and about their problems in life. They get often answers on how to solve a problem. Blogg can also be used to discussions. For example new game is gonna be released people talk about it and what they think about that game.

SMS and MMS:
Sms is almost like chat but you don't need internett connection to send mesages. SMS is oral chat too. People use a lot of shortcuts and differend kinds of slang.

Virtual Life:

People in these days are very virual. Nobody cares to go to the bank becouse they can look at their account from a smartphone app or their computer. A lot of people play a lot of virtual games too. MMO games is kind of second life. People play this kind of games to live a virtual life and do whatever they want.

Wiki:

Most popular site to find information is Wikipedia. Word wiki stands for : What I Know Is... Wikipedia has a lot of facts about different things. I always used it when I had a presentation at school. But there are a lot of sites like wikipedia. Very important thing is that people has to learn what is true and what is false.
