5 videos which were good.

My evaluation

WWW. It had good information and helpful to my class mates. Used good catchy music which engaged the audience. I answered all of the questions which were been asked to answer. Use statistics to make information easier.


EBI: I added pictures, I didn't use to much information on one slide. Also to create it like a video and not a power point presentation. Use different quotes from different people.

The internet: Everything you ever need to know



Take the long view:
This paragraph talks about how people only look at the short term effects of the internet rather than the long terms effects. Also how people have changed due to what they see on the internet and how they socialise. This paragraph also talks about the history of using the internet and how it is a disadvantage to people.

The web isn't the net:
This paragraph talks about how the web and the net are two completely different things and the way this is explained is by a relation to railways. The internet is the train track and the web pages are traffic such has documents and files. Overall it says the web is very important but the net is far more important.

Distribution is a feature, not a bug:
This paragraph talks about how the internet is being used so much by people that other businesses are decreasing, such as newspaper profits as many people just read the news online rather than in the papers.  Many internet ideas and suprises came from one man Tim Berners Lee in 1991 who put the code on an internet server without permission.

Think ecology not economics:
This paragraph compares the internet to real life creatures such as dinosaurs and to the natural world. It also talks about the growth of the population who used the interent and lastly, looks at the internet as an ecosystem that has become more complex.

Complexity is the new reality:
This paragraph talks about the problems the internet is facing such as too many people using it and solutions to fix this. There has not been any solutions which have been approached which will be a suitable way to decrease the amount of internet users.

The network is now the computer:
This paragraph talks about Cloud Computing. This is where things are internet based and shared through resources and are provided to other devices. Lastly, it talks about how many devices have the internet on it and how easy it is to access it.

The web is changing:
This paragraph talks about the changes in the interenet. It talks about how the interent was web 1.0, then it went to web 2.0 and soon to be web 3.0. This web is so much more advanced and has so much more then it did with web 1.0. The interent is no longer just a publication meduim.

Huxley and Orwell are the book ends of our future:
This paragraph talks about Huxley and Orwell and there view to the internet.

A zettabyte is 10 to the 21st power bytes, a million million gigabytes. These estimates are from an analysis of more than 20 different sources of information, from very old (newspapers and books) to very new (portable computer games, satellite radio, and Internet video). Information at work is not included.  http://hmi.ucsd.edu/howmuchinfo_research_report_consum.php

The social nature of information :
http://socialmediacertificate.net/2010/03/the-social-nature-of-information/  The model focuses on four communication needs that people seek to satisfy when they choose media sources: information, connectivity, entertainment, and consumption.

Communication:
http://www.communicationtoolbox.com/types_of_communication_medium.html We divide the different types of communication medium into two different categories: 1. Physical media 2. Mechanical media. This site focuses on the internal communication. Our listings of types of communication medium therefore exclude external media.
http://www.iteaconnect.org/Publications/HITSKITS/PH32B.PDF : I think that communication is very important as there should be different ways to use the internet.
Privacy :  
http://www.yourrights.org.uk/yourrights/privacy/privacy-and-the-media.html  The publications of stories about your private life can be a clear breach of your right to respect for your privacy, as protected by Article 8. If a public authority were to publish such a story, you would be able to bring an action against them under the Human Rights Act 1998 for breach of your Convention rights.
http://www.adviceguide.org.uk/england/law_e/law_society_e/law_privacy_and_media_e/using_the_law_to_protect_your_information.htm I think that people privacy such as appointments, there family history should all be protected and people should be abkle to access them with out permission.

Community :
‘One could notice that a genuine community rised, because people truly feel that they belong to the tribe, and a somehow palpable pride can be felt, from the founders as well as from the other members.’
Online safety:
http://www.commonsensemedia.org/advice-for-parents/10-simple-steps-internet-safety  
http://www.commonsensemedia.org/advice-for-parents/internet-safety-tips-high-school-kids  : I think that online safety is very key. Mainly with parents that have internet at home should be very careful in what there kids are watching and playing online. Also who they are talking to and what site they are using. Parent protection should be used for young kids.

Business :
http://www.freelancecopywritersblog.com/3427/is-social-media-killing-off-company-websites/
http://charlotteord.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/why-social-media-is-killing-your.html : i think that people are only creating there own websites as they are in competition with other businesses to have more than what the other team may have. This is bad as having websites can lead to Facebook and Twitter which enlarges many problems.
