Digital media in my life

 

What you hope you will learn about digital media in this course?
 
Using the internet is unavoidable nowadays,especailly the digital meadia,it is important that we should learn more about these things.In this course,i hope i can find out the relation between visual culture and digital media,and also the impact and the value of it.

What are some kinds of digital media that are important in my life, and what are some pros and cons of these ?

There are many digital media that are important to me,such as Facebook,Youtube,Instagram and Tumblr.When i surf the internet on my mobile phone,i was usually using these apps.

As everyone knows,Facebook is a social media which is multi-function and very convenient.We can see what our friends do through their photos,words or videos,updating our own status,following the celebrities' pages,chatting with friends or even strangers,etc.
Another digital media which is nessesary to me is Youtube.We can watch the videos all over the globe even though it is long time ago.For example,i watched the video "teletubbies" which i never watch before on Youtube recantly and suddenly find that it is really interesting.The function of instagram and Tumblr is similar that we can see photos or clips posted by others and comment on it.

However,it may pose a risk if we do not use these digital media carefully.What you post could trigger off the cyber-bullying or to leak out your personal infornmation and what you get could be a fake information or news.Also,these convenient digital media cause the lack of communication,people would rather chat on Facebook,than talk face-to-face.
