Disruptive Technology Disrupts Behavior

alienate people from each other when it comes to personal interaction. The more you rely on social media for your communication and conversations, the less you will be able to hold your own face to face.I agree with the topic that disruptive technology disrupts behavior. Disruptive technology can be defined as technologies that significantly alter the way businesses or industries operate. This shows that because businesses or industries have to change or adjust the way it operates it will disrupt the usual behavior of the business causing persons to come up with a new or different behavior towards how the business is being run now. For example the change can cause new customers and widen the target audience or cause certain goals to be attained by the business to be adjusted which disrupts the usual behavior of the business.

Many to one communication?

Many-to-one communication provides a conceptual and empirical interface for studies of the interplay between media systems and individual users: Through minimal acts of logging on, clicking or liking, communicative agents can be seen to contribute to the ongoing structure of media, always conditioned by the pre-existing structural frameworks of communication and other social interactions. (Jensen, K. B., & Helles, R. (2016). Speaking into the system: Social media and many-to-one communication. European Journal of Communication, 32(1), 16-25. doi:10.1177/0267323116682805). An example of many-to-one communication is real time biding this is where information is up front and ready about the user.

Issues of Social Media o.o

Social media has debatable being one of the best creation in technological world but with everything there is some fault and with social media some of the most popular issues are that:

1. It causes a decrease in sociability, meaning social media can alienate people from each other when it comes to personal interaction. The more you rely on social media for your communication and conversations, the less you will be able to hold your own face to face.

2. Worsened Self-Expression Skills, Young people who use social media whether Facebook or Instagram or Twitter are constantly facing troubles when it comes to actually writing school papers or submitting official paperwork because of this habit for shortening words and the use of slangs.

Web 1.0/2.0/3.0

Web 1.0 also referred to as the readable web. There is no interaction between sites and web users. Web 1.0 is simply an information portal where users passively receive information without being given the opportunity to post reviews, comments, and feedback. An example would be personal websites.

Web 2.0 also referred to as the read and write web. Web 2.0 facilitates interaction between web users and sites, so it allows users to interact more freely with each other. Web 2.0 encourages participation, collaboration, and information sharing. Examples of Web 2.0 applications are YouTube, Wiki, and Facebook.

Web 3.0

Web 3.0 is a semantic web which refers to the future. In Web 3.0, computers can interpret information like humans and intelligently generate and distribute useful content tailored to the needs of users. One example of Web 3.0 is Tivo, a digital video recorder. Its recording program can search the web and read what it finds to you based on your preferences.

Also providing tutorials and tips for persons.

Globalization

What are some of the positive achievements that globalization brings to our society, in particular, Digital Media?

The internet creates global communication platform enabling new forms of economic ties and social networking.

Social media and free communication services has globalized personal communication. For example the smallest business multinational business because of online commerce.

Multinational companies now perform many of their business functions through internet or by using digital media.

Research and Discuss four positive and four negative effects of globalization on our society.

Positive effects:

More efficient markets: Globalization can improve the way you produce a good or service by doing things such as buying from an overseas supplier that offers discounts, you can then afford to lower your selling price which results in increased demand and affordability.

Competition in the market: Global competition leads to products of high quality. The enhanced quality of both products and services are based on production approaches of customer demands and customer services.

Culture: The welcoming of people from various backgrounds and civilizations has resulted in the creation of new cultures, thus leading societal growth.

Legal effects: Human rights have been improved as a result of globalization since media coverage on violations of the rights receives attention from all over the world. Also leaders as well as other persons of power addresses these issues on social media which can be seen all over the world.

Negative Effect

Destruction of natural resources: Globalization causes an increase in production which results in the usage of more natural resources. pollution because fumes from factories as well as from transportation because ships and other mode of transportations will be used causing more fumes in the air.

Job insecurity: most global economy jobs are insecure and temporary. The impact is mostly felt in developed countries since they can outsource cheaper white collar and manufacturing jobs.

Pollution: because fumes from factories as well as from transportation because ships and other mode of transportations will be used causing more fumes in the air.

Fluctuation in prices: Globalization has led to fluctuation in price. Due to increase in competition, developed countries are forced to lower down their prices for their products, this is because other countries produce goods at a lower cost that makes goods to be cheaper than the ones produced in developed countries.

State the difference between globalization and liberalization. Give two examples.

Liberalization generally relates to activity within a certain country as a result of modernization and development while globalization relates to activities among countries and results in interdependence and interaction among countries and facilitates the movement of goods and services, capital, individuals, knowledge, technology.

Examples:

Globalization: The ability to travel and experience other places and cultures.

Liberalization: European Union has liberalized gas and electricity markets, instituting a competitive system.

Pitfalls

Raise instructional challenges- For professors and teachers to stay abreast with technology, they may need to be retrained.

Results in a lack of interest in studying- Because everything is now accessible online or through data saved in a computer or mobile devices, students are likely to develop poor studying habits and a lazy attitude towards education.

Digital Media and the Internet tools being used today compared to use prior to the advent of the Internet and Digital Media

Digital Media and the Internet is now our normal life compared to before it arrived. In present times everything surrounds the internet and digital media which is not bad but also not good because in modern times we have now become dependent on it rather than when it just arrived where we used to just have it to assist us. But it is good because the digital natives already are born into this kind of living so it is not bad to them because that's how they have been grown to learn implementing technology in school for eg using laptops and smart boards and there day to day activities eg mobile phones, but digital immigrants who know the before and after can tell that we revolve around the internet and digital media tools.
