Do new technologies change -
How we access information?


Of course YES! Just take a look at how news spread in the internet. We almost not need those newspapers delivered everyday by the guys in a bicycle, or by foot. We don't need to buy papers and other stuffs to know what's going on. There(by using technologies and the net), we can also choose what is it that we want to read about by just clicking into the links to view more about a certain topic. Not just in news! It helps us also in our researches, homework, etc. By just clicking enter after typing a topic on Google, there are so many results. Even if just typing the keywords and phrases, etc, that even a word that is related to the title, it will pop out. There we go! Copy paste. Copy paste. But that's not a good thing to do. That can only serve as our inspiration. For new ideas to come up with. Not for us to copy and paste for our homework. But sometimes, what's on the internet, is really the main topic. You don't need to change cause its already there.


The type of information upon which we rely?

YES. In the past, we rely on the books in the library. Dictionaries, encyclopedias, atlas, etc. We spend time just to search for this book for this certain topic. But now, it's getting rare that people use books. Just like me, I use Google for my homework. Wikipedia too. Because almost all of the information I/we need is there. It's almost complete! Even though other topic is not yet posted there. Even you guys use these right? And we can find the results in a short period of time! Boom! Its there.

While I am searching for pictures, I saw this one. And then an eyebrow raised. I was like. "Uh-huh.". "If this is a novel, how many years am I going to finish this? How many chapters are there?!" Something like that. If it is about all the information around the globe, I'm sure it will took time to find a certain topic. Even if there is this table of contents. You'll get confused and you'll panic. You'll lost hope and will end up using the internet for the research. Bang! Change of access of information.


How we communicate with each other?


YES. Look, people use social-networking sites just like Facebook to connect and communicate to each other. By using their laptops/PC when they are at home. And others are using their cellular phones that are Wifi ready if they are somewhere in town, in malls, etc. Or by just sending text messages or by calling each other.


Does new media limit or expand our personal freedom?


For me, new media expand and limits our personal freedom. Look, just like in social networking sites, we can just post whatever we like. Something that we feel at that moment. But not all of it. Of course we must limit ourselves too. Imagine, you post all of the things you want to put there. And other's feelings were hurt, etc. Also, don't put too much personal things out there. Stalkers may come and stalk you!!!

Though people do many advances in technology,
it's not a whole success. Cause most of the students become lazy, and less motivated. And is always thinking about sitting there

facing their technologies when they are bored. Instead of

studying or making their homework. Come to think of it,
do studying and doing homework even pop into their minds?
