Lecture -

Comunication is very different compared to twenty years ago because of Information Comunication Technology

Communication takes place within networks

Ipods, mp3,mobiles (3g),laptops, email etc

Its difficult to convey feelings,be informal, and send the wrong signal in an email

Tutorial -

Group Tabs On Google-

I searched Soccer under the groups tab and found groups such as rec.sport.soccer and alt.sports.soccer.everton.

The message posted on the rec.sport.soccer group was about the Real Madrid - Barcelona game that was recently played. The winners Real Madrid (4-1) were considered to have walked all over barcelona and ended their hopes of winning some pride. Real madrid was helped by this victory to win the league title.

The message posted on the alt.sports.soccer.everton group was about the Everton football club awards ceremony. The titles of young player of the year,player of the year,fan of the year and the people's club award.

Podcasts-

The advantage of having podcasts for university students is that they can learn how to use the library facilities and audio tours of the campus library so you know where to go when you want to find something for your studies. The information that you will be looking for will be broader and more accessible to you then if you dont know how to use the library.

Reading Summary 1- Email has both negatives and positives when being used to communicate with other users. The positives are that its quick and easy, the negatives are that you cant express feelings. When using email sites, makes sure to always get to the point straight away, when asking a question ask it properly, specify who should respond and one message one topic.

Reading Summary 2 - The UBE (Spam) sender doesnt recieve much benefit by sending out all the spam, mainly sending millions of emails for the price of one. The no costs to the sender part of this method means that unlimited spam is over the net and will always be. The recipient of the spam will be charged whether you realise it or not and not the sender.
