Is there a possibility to reshape the (new) culture today via new technology, How?

In the current new era, we still find the same thing in most of the institution. They are still using books for their teaching and learning process. Thus, in my own words, I think that we could reshape the new "e-book" culture using the new technology. Using paper is consuming a lot of trees. The world is getting into the concern about recycling. Deforestation is getting serious nowadays and in order to save the condition of the earth we need to try avoiding from cutting down the tree. In this case, since text books used in school are consuming a lot of trees, it will be more practical to use "e-book" in school. It saves more in using paper. Besides, we could reuse the particular device. Besides, students could store all the text books in just one device so that they could search for their previous course works easily. Remember when you wanted to look for books for the previous session, what came in mind was "duh!!". You will need to search the whole book shelf in the study room for the particular book. It is time consuming. But, by using the "e-book" device, with just a few click within a few minutes perhaps, you could find the particular content. How easy it will be. Perhaps in future, the paper using culture might be reshaped. It might be improved to using a certain device as an improvement and also replacement of the culture.

What kind of culture influences through technology can you see from today’s world?

Nowadays, culture often get influenced through technology. Such as TV culture that had been mentioned in class. People seldom watch TV nowadays. Like those days, we watch when it is shown on TV. But now we can watch whatever and whenever we want. It's TV culture.

What else? Here's a question, are you still writing a letter to a pal? Are you still getting to know a pen pal through a magazine or newspaper? I'm pretty sure non of you still doing either of this. Right, people now mail to each other instead of writing a letter. People get to know each other via networks on the Net such as Facebook, Friendster and MySpace. In such networks, there's always a similar tool that you can easily find anyone that you could loose contact with. With just a click, you could do almost anything. Internet brings conveniences and you could simply stay connected with each other. However, there's no privacy considering once you've entered the Internet. Whether you use it wisely or other way. Internet is such a huge world that no one owns it. The culture nowadays among teenagers through those technology is telling us being convenient, being updated, being fast, this is what accepted in the present and coming generation. Just like what I'm doing now, instead of writing my point on a paper and pass it to the lecturer, I was told to write it in my blog. You won't have the concern of losing it and can always be done anytime, anywhere. Besides, we can share our points around. 

Personal reflection on this week lecture.

Er... honestly, the lecture for this week was quite interesting as it is so related to me, us, the teenagers in current generation and also relating the next generation. The topic was 'Technology and Media'. Technology, emmm... sort of in thing. The lecturer bring the topic out clearly. Plus, there were few video clips being shown on screen that I found were cool. Imagine that you were given a brand new 'iPhone' once entering particular university. It's so cool man. The whole routine in university is navigated by a phone. Convenient, cool stuff, and even the lecturers are using it. However, definitely there will be less interaction between us. Though, this is how the culture of the generation being. I just wish I were one of the student in that university.
