Prof. Miranda talks about “a fundamental cultural shift due to the Internet, “ in our first lecture of Med160 class. I agree his conclusion of all these mass media formats that were highly specialized and expensive toProduce are now generated via the personal computer. We are living in a Digital media era, personal computer already become our eyes to observe and interact with this world. In my opinion personal computer is one of the greatest inventory in 20th century, and will continually changing our life.
Computer as a muti-digitial media, play a lot of important roles in my life. For example, I spent at list 1 hour write email everyday, I using 4 email addresses to manage my personal relationship, academic studies, find jobs, and social life approach. Gmail and hot mail always the first two pages I open in the morning and open in the night. I also have face book account to share thought with friends and interact with them. It’s somehow become my useful channel for keeping my friendship. I organize two blogs both in Chinese and English; it’s my way to link friendship between two country. Beside that the online chatting softwares like MSN, Google chat, and Skype, allow me chat with friend from the entire world, face to face. People live in 50 years ago can't imagine what we have now.
The personal computer is also a play station for music, movies, television, radio, book, newspaper and magazine.... This is a huge step for people like me. It’s not just the combination of physical machine; it does create digitalization effective to our life. For example, people can link in together by internet; you can share words, music, movie, and all kind of information. Its not only make the whole world become a world market, more importantly. Common people as us, have excesses to become a media maker, we have power to create news and let the whole world know. This even changes the function of the countries and society.
