What in your life (if anything) would change if you suddenly were no longer able to communicate with others in digital ways?
I would no longer be able to talk to my fathers side of the family including my aunts and cousins and grandparents, I would lose contact with basically all of my friends.
Describe a time when you communicated through the web, email, texting, chat, or Facebook when things went better than they might have if the communication had been face to face? What happened, and why do you think this communication worked better than it would have had you been talking face to face?
For some reason communicating through msn and similar programs is easier for me if it’s with someone I feel a little shy around, because I don’t have to worry about my voice going squeaky or having a dumb answer , I f I can’t think of something to say I just take a little time to think about it and pretend like it’s the internet connection that’s slow, so all successful chat communication’s for me have been with either an authority figure or just someone who I find intimidating, and most unsuccessful chat communications have been with close friends, because it never feels right because of how well we communicate face to face.
If you've used IM (Instant Messaging), texting, Twitter, or Facebook, when and how do you use it, and what sorts of effects has it had on personal relationships? If you've used chat rooms, think about your first experiences with them. What happened, and how did you feel about it?
Right now I use facebook mainly to keep updated on the news back home, believe it or not the news I get from facebook from my friends who usually were a witness or heard it from someone is more accurate then any news channel plus its faster then any breaking news banner.
I also us it to stay updated on my friends general lives, and through comments and similar function I feel involved to some degree in their lives.
Try to remember a specific computer technology that excited or angered you. Why did this technology have this specific impact on you?
I remember webcams changing the way I communicated with my overseas family, and they truly excited me now I could see my newly born cousin waving at me, and he can become familiarized with my face, before webcams whenever I visited the U.S the littlest members of the family would not even know who I was .
Another computer technology that changed things for me, was the adobe programs like Photoshop, illustrator, InDesign these programs changed my field of study and digitalized it giving artists exciting new opportunities and horizons.
