WHOO! IM HOOPS & YOYO EXCITED-LICIOUS!!!! :D *beams away!*
It's my first day of COM 125 class & im quite excited seeing how it is: 1st day of school, new classes, new classmates, so forth.. :)
Im thinking of choosing a nice template for my newly created blog(which is also part of COM 125 learning journal but i rather treat it as also a new way of expressing myself on the internet, seeing how as it is, i haven't blogged on my personal blog for quite a long extended period of time! HA! :P)
Just a brief short paragraph on what happened today in class & my thoughts...
Today, we had a brief introduction to COM 125(aka Introduction to internet) & it really gets you thinking about how we're all connected to each other through facebook, messenger, etc & with a click of a button, we can instantly find items pertaining to a search request we type into search toolbars, i.e. google, yahoo.. NOW ISN'T THAT FANTASTIC OR WHAT THAT WE CAN DO SOOOO MUCH WITH THE INTERNET??? :D Besides that, we were introduced to different versions of web browser! Fascinating really!
Melody's "DID YOU KNOW???":
1) there's currently 3 versions of web browers: Web 1.0, web 2.0, web 3.0! (we're currently on web 3.0 and i DIDN'T even know that!)
- Web 1.0: mostly for information sharing, WE are the CONSUMERS
- Web 2.0: content is from us, WE are BOTH CONSUMERS & CONTRIBUTORS => PROSUMER!
- Web 3.0: semantic web, the web is able to have some form of intelligence!!! *shocking right! :P* And it gives advice to us
On the whole, it really gets me thinking... Do we even know what we're really doing when using the internet?
I shall let you readers sit on that thought for now..
Till next time(YES there are many more EXCITING entries to go!!), look forward to my coming entries!!! :D

Wow, I did not know there were differences between the three different web versions. I noticed a different version when I download or update my browser but I did not notice the difference. The rate at which technology is advancing is so fast that i think version 4.0 will be out soon. Perhaps it will start functioning like a computer's OS?
"Do we even know what we're really doing when using the internet" is a really good question Mel.
I use the internet so much that it's an essential part of my life. Need to know what to cook for dinner? Taste.com.au. Need to know where somewhere is with simple directions? maps.google.com. Need to find my boyfriend? trackyourbf.com.au - just kidding :P
It's good to slow down and take in the bigger picture. With the internet we can communicate with video across vast distances, we can change the landscape of politics (think about how online blogs played a significant role reporting in the American elections), we can be so much more than we ever could with paper and pen!
With the advent of CSS3 and HTML5, they will surely reinvent the web as we know it. Who knows, next we might be able to taste things through the monitor...
Okay, I'm going off on a tangent here, I might continue that on my own blog instead haha!
