Tutorial Task Wk. 3

Write a post about how you use new communication technologies to communicate with your friends and family:

Well, that above is really the main reason I use communication technologies. That and entertainment.
Whilest I'm not really into meeting completely random people in chatrooms or adding total strangers on myspace, I do think it is a positive way to enhance your social network (even though sitting at home on the computer doesn't always seem like a very social thing to do).
I mainly use MSN to communicate - sometimes its even easier then texting my friends.
But now MySpace has arisen, I'm pretty much addicted to that too.
Technologies like these mainly spread through word of mouth, and soon enough you get curious and join in to find out what it's all about.
It happened with Hotmail, MSN, and now Myspace. Soon I bet something else will come up that will no doubtedly make some techno-whiz a whole lot of money, and take up a whole lot of our spare time!

Some people say that things like Myspace are a "waste of time", "mindless entertainment", or just plain pointless. I disagree. Could anyone think of another program that could have millions of people around the world using html codes without a second thought? I thought I was a technical mess and that anything Tech i tried to do would fail horribly. But, through these new communicaton technologies I feel more confident, and no matter what anyone says, I think it's a skill!It's also a pretty big reflection on today's society too. I think it's a positive thing to adapt and accept new technologies and ideas; it's the only way we can keep up with things in this world.
