* It also act as an easier and faster mean to send out a message.
Maybe a good example

Internet News....
Critical Reflection
* Do I often take what is on the internet as truth, my answer will be no. I wont believe everything in the internet as internet is a place where anything can be said even if it's not the truth. Information on the internet can be massive and sometimes limitless. But this is all depends with the source of the information, news or information from an internet newspaper like THE STAR ONLINE can be considered as a reliable source as the news or information is pretty much came from a legitimate reporter. On the other hand, news or information that comes from an open-source service like WIKIPEDIA can sometimes be unreliable. This is mainly caused by its own nature of gathering information which is from everyone across the globe. Almost anyone can write the information and it is up to the other users to verify it, and this will increase the chance that the information will be fake.
* Trusting information or news from the net can sometimes be very confusing as a news can be pretty convincing depending on how it is written. So it is up to the reader to decide which one they prefer and which one they want to believe. Therefore readers should be much more open minded and aware with their surrounding so that they wont instantly believes on the news or information that can be found on the internet.

Topic 1: Social Media!
Task:Discuss how this new phenomenon is affecting your life and the lives around you
Critical Reflection
*From my reading about social media in wikipedia I found that Social Media are primarily internet and mobile-based tools for sharing and discussing information among human beings. For example, Blogger is a type of social media where anything can be written and it can easily be access by others.
*Discussing about how Social Media affecting my life, well I have to say it really is something addictive for me for years now. It started way back and at first I really got stuck to lots of forums and one of it is LOWYAT.NET which is a forum based in Malaysia where you can talk about almost everything. After years of that, I started join MYSPACE.COM and use it for a while until I joined BLOGGER.COM and have stay with it until now. From here I can say that social media are now a part of my life and it looks to stay that way for quite a long time. From my experience of using social media forms I can say that it is easier to get to know and interact with lots of people from all part of the world.

*Social Media affect my life a lot and as it affect my life it also affect others. It is something that always have relate with each other, as for examples, I post a question in a forum which at the same time there are others who like to ask the same question. From there, me and the others can benefit from the post that I made and this is how social media can affect others life.
Personal Reflection
