Week 10
Lecture Summary
During this week lecture Helen asked some questions on an article which she brought along. The article was about information overload, occurring on the internet, and how the internet may collapse under increased usage. Atom information is in the form of books, papers and reports and it is hard to change or copy and it is easily protected. Bits are in the form of digital and electronic content and are cheap and flexible: however finding good source of information is difficult. During the lecture we also found out some important ways of accessing the right information and doing a right research using different search engines and we also found out about file extension, search function and some search engines.
Tutorial Summary
During this week’s tutorial we were required to complete four tasks to help us more about information management.
1)Our first task was to read through the internet explorer favourites tutorials http://www.inette.com/aibtinette/favoritesI.html
2) The second task was to set up our own favourites list with at least three folders each with at least two favourite websites.
3) The third task required us to read N. Negropontes report entitled “Being Digital”, with particular attention being paid to the beginning of part one. The DNA information
4) The four task we was required to generate a 150 word response to the question of if we think Negropontes ideas still relevant and why my response is that i do think negroponte's ideas are still relevent do a point but have a "Bit" approach to information managment as opposed to an "atom" approach. Information is certainly easier for us to take whever you wish. however what negroponte failed to mention was that an approach is flaught with flaws of its own making most importantly security and privacy.
Summary of readings
In this reading they were an article entitled “grazed the net “. This article is about student s ability to analyse the information in which suitable or not. The reading focused on how introducing internet to schools today is allowing students to have a look at large amounts of suitable and none suitable information and having to find out what is suitable or not.
BBC Click, this video displays people discussing whether the information on the internet is even worth reviewing, because a lot of it is junk and there is so much advertising however some of it has actual educational academic value, the internet will continue to grow and its information needs to be considered.
