Second Lesson of My IS: Forum Discussions on Social Media, IP and Blog & Website

This is my second lesson of IS. It is forum discussions on social media, IP and blog/website. First, social media is the social impact of new media technologies. Then, it's the IP. Actuaaly, IP are ethical issues on media usage and intellectual property. Lastly, the blog & website is about the differences between blogs and websites.

We are to do one of the three discussions. We were asked to pen down our opinions and responds in the forum. I was selected to do the third one, differences between blogs and websites. Besides of participating in the selected forum, We're to comment on one of the other group and your group too.

Now, let's talk more about my discussions. Actually, the title of the forum is ''Blog or Wbsite? Which is Better?'' It's a video by Lisa, the creator of 2createwebsite.com. We need to use our own words and write down our opinions and responds in the reply box. The video is saying about all the advantages and disadvantages of blogs and websites. Mostly are like the blogs are a little stressful because the readers expect new posts each week. So, the blogger will need to post more. But with the websites, it's more ie references. It needed update maybe once a month. Then, they said that the website is more relaxed. There are also many other advantages and disadvantages of both sides. If you want to know more, just go to http://http//www.youtube/.com/watch?v=Jq1wqtteb3I&feature=player_embedded to watch the video.

Now, I'll briefly introduce you to another two of the discussions. One title is called ''Intellectual Property - Is Copy Right?'' It is a video that teaches us not to copy things from the internet apartfor personal use. We should always seek the acknowledge of the copyright folder. It's wrong to copy others work without seeking permission or give acknowledges or credts to the ''owner''. So, it's point is to tell us not to copy things without permission or giving out crdits to those who owns the work.

Coming up is the ''Social Impact of New Media''. It's about the technology nowadays. In every month, week or even day, technology are being invented or upgraded. Without technology, we'll need to d most of the things ourselves and that will make us tired. With technology, our work is now reducing. It made our lifes better and better, in continuos. But there are also some disadvantages of it. One of it is hat men lost their jos because thetechnologies are replacing them.
