This week's lecture concerns communication. Beginning with the discussion of the importance of communication in today's world, we were asked to produce an email to suit appropriate net etiquette. After we all confirmed the importance of communication, the role of the ICT was explained: communication between individuals, businesses, organisations, etc. The ways this can be done are through the use of mobile phones (3G network), video, tele-conferencing, ipods, mp3, e-mail, through forums, instant chat programs, pc games, blogs, etc.
Synchronous and anynchronous communication was then explained. Synchronous is when communication within parties are all talking at the same time, while anynchronous communication is when parties take turns to communicate. This can either be done independently or dependently - Anywhere in cyberspace or in the same place.
Though this has its advantages, there are a number of disadvantages. One of them being pedophiles against young kids communicating over these tools. Even though, ICT is a great communication process which allows for an increase of information to the public in a variety of contexts.
