Ok
I am Kirk and have been kicking about for a while now. I am not currently working which is different for me, but I am changing my career path and have decided to study Psychology. I am in my first year, although I have some credit from previous study.
I look forward to engaging with other students and getting into my year.
With respect to the tutespark week 1.
How do we distinguish between old and new communication technologies?
When guided by the old and new examples in week one notes, I think the common factor is the items ability to interact with modern computer technologies.
Even TV and radio have become updated for example most modern TV's are effectively monitors with greater PC functionality and radios have become digital, radio transmission is capable of providing high voice and data services with lower power requirements.
Under what circumstances will new communication technologies become old communication technologies?
Move into the next generation or more clearly the next level of development. When the technologies that already exsists is superseded, not in terms of a version type but there is a better product in the market the offers the same function. the TV or monitor is an example.
This weeks lecture and tute was a comfortable intro to what is going to happen this sem. Touched on what new comms tech is about and the tasks and assessments to follow. Weekly Q&A tutesparks to be considered creating critical thinking and discussion.
