Sharing information quickly
The internet can be used to share information over the
internet. Ways to do this is to use Wi-Fi or to be able to use 3G/4G. There are
many different ways in which to share information across the web. One way is to
use SMS to send messages to other people, this uses the phone 3G to send the
message via satellite. Another way to send information quickly is to use
instant messaging. This is a online chat room which sends the messages over the
internet. Blogs contain posts, sometimes similar to journal entries, from a
person or a group. The posts are dated and listed in reverse chronological
order. People can comment on posts as well as provide links to related sites,
photos, and blogs. social media has grown in a rapid succession as the introduction of twitter and other such websites has given users greater choice in how they want to share their thoughts and information. here is a video about the growth of social media.
due to the success of social media, business have been utilising the social media for their personal gain due to the great number of people which use the social media websites everyday. this given businesses easy free advertising.
I think the social networking aspect needs expanding on, because you can now make instant wall posts to sites like Facebook straight from your home screen and compose tweets straight to Twitter also which can be done both over wifi or using your 3G/4G from a mobile device and similarly on a laptop or tablet for example.

ReplyDeleteAlthough instant messaging services can allow uses to share information quickly but another way is via email.
ReplyDeleteThere is also such a thing called RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds, where information can be spread very quickly. The RSS feed enables publishers to syndicate data automatically. Once users subscribe to a website RSS removes the need for them to manually check it. Instead, their browser constantly monitors the site and informs the user of any updates. The browser can also be commanded to automatically download the new data for the user.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Dan's point as news websites now make it even easier to access the news as they update the website more often that they can show the news on the TV. the amount of ways in which people can share their information has greatly improved as people can now access of the move on their mobile, tablet or pc if it has a internet connection such as 3G.
