Week 3: Web 2.0 and Podcasting where is this heading?

Almost everyone uses the web, and for those who use it, nearly all of them will use it for audio also. The Web 2.0 and Podcasting is the most updated in our media culture.Tim O’Reilly, the inventor of the Web 2.0 had performed a newer version of the web. With Web 2.0 we are allowed to search and use the web easier and more efficient. No more Ofoto, personal website, mp3.com and etc, using the 7 principles of O’Reilly’s towards the Web 2.0, we have a better understanding of the differences when comparing Web 1.0 and 2.0. O’Reilly’s Web 2.0 made our web culture in trend, which suits the needs of everyone who uses the web. Another application, podcasting, is also another leading media of todays. We can upload and download music, videos, sound clips and all other types of audio and then sharing it with others.

But where is Web 2.0 and Podcasting heading to? What is their goal? We can probably imagine that few years after there will be some other more useful and functional application used by then. Our web culture changes and new programs pops up almost everyday. Our media seems to grow too fast and it is too hard for us the follow it. However, we are able to see the succeeding of the Web 2.0 and Podcasting, because everyone is using it and that is what we would like to stick with. Definitely, newer version of Podcast and Web 2.0 will appear sooner or later, we see that as the goal and where they are trying to head to.

Week 1: What is the biggest issue facing blogging, citizenship and the future of media?

As media develops, we will encounter more and more problems with in it. The biggest issue while facing blogging, citizenship and the future media is defining legalization. In our world today, it seems like there are always people who argue about legalization, so then when should it be legal and when it shouldn’t? Blogging is the most common and easies webpage. It is that popular because individuals are able to write about their experience and feelings and share it with others. It is another way to connect with people and seeing their world of living. Also the author can express their thoughts through writing. But if we write in our own blog and someone else take our idea, is that illegal?

As well as future of media, where it stands for our todays live, we cannot live without media. We run into technologies and different innovation within media. Right now we have the most well known application “facebook” which includes almost everything that majority people will need, example; blogging, music, games, photo album and so on. But also, how can we identify what is it the meaning of legal and illegal? Commenting how bad the restaurant’s food is and their service, is that illegal? It is very hard for us to categorize legal and illegal, because the standard of it will differ within one. Legalization seems to be the biggest and indefinable issue that have been trying to solve by everyone but can still not yet find the correct answer facing this problem.
