UNIT 9: Current and Future Trends of Media and Information

I learned that the of citizens ' daily life, technology has become an important part; most people rely on technology to make their work easier, either personal or working-related. Today, technology seems to keep growing with the passing of time. Technology experts are currently discovering the strength of the virtual reality, artichoke, holography, interactive images.

Haptics technology a type of technology in which the user's sensation of touch is used for many purposes to feel power, vibrations or movements. In video games, films and virtual arts, Haptics technology is used most frequently, such as sound synthesis and graphical design and animation.

Context awareness or contextual responsiveness gathers user information and predicts or anticipates user needs based on such choices. For example, a user enters every day the same path to work and, because he has sensed the traffic jams on the route usually taken, the user is advised to leave earlier than his usual time or follow a different road.

Some technologies (e.g. ordering a smart telephone to carry out a certain task, confirming the identity of an individual, etc.) currently use voice recognition. The technology for voice AND tone recognition can be used to recognize the health or feeling of the user. In the area of safety and health care this technology can be useful.

This future technology is going to be useful for those who are always on the move. Smart routing, for example, can provide a place only by capturing a photo of the street or describing it using smart phones and GPS or the global positioning system. Smart routing can be useful to people in disaster response teams or warn the authorities in the event of unexpected incidents.

Eye tracking refers to a form of technology that analyzes a person's movements or positions by machine. Eye tracking is commonly used in some organizations to identify or confirm your identity.

Internet brass refers to the currently developed technology, which directly shows visuals on the eyes that do not block one's sight. In the case of eyeglasses, Internet glasses can be used or even replacing smart phones for e-gaming and military defense.

UNIT 8: Opportunities, Challenges and Power of Media and Information

I learned the opportunities, challenges and power of media and information. I understand the issues of using unguarded internet. Citizen journalism, Courtney c. Radsch describes citizen journalism as an alternative type of "activist" collecting and distributing news outside the traditional broadcasting forms of news and information. Jay Rosen points out that citizen journalism simply refers to an audience which uses its own press resources to educate other audiences.

Phishing involves stealing private information-such as usernames and passwords, or sometimes money via credit card numbers-often for malicious purposes. Phishing is a trusted organization (usually a website). Phishing is a fishing term similar to the phishing term used to catch a victim with the aid of bait (the credible entity)

Human trafficking refers to the use of threats or persuasions to engage in any kind of labor or force or trade in sex. Millions of people, including men, women and even children, go into trafficking worldwide and earn a large amount of billions of dollars annually. Trafficking of humans is believed to be a secret crime and cases of human trafficking are rarely reported and victims seek help out due to the fear of traffickers, the stigma or, at times, the fear of police forces.

UNIT 7: Legal, Ethical, and Societal Issues in Media and Information

I learned the Legal, Ethical, and Societal Issues in Media and Information. I understand ethics, refers whether or not certain acts are morally acceptable, to moral principles which correlate with human behavior. Areas of Ethical Concerns in Digital Media Example of this are social networking, blogging, gaming, instant messaging, Downloading music/movies/media, Uploading and sharing original creations and Using work from another company, service, individual, or product, such as photography, logos, or any other copyrighted, patented, or trademarked material.

I also understand the copyright is a form of intellectual property in which the creator retains for a limited period of time the right of original works to be regarded as public domain; later the production is now considered to be a public domain. Fair Use applies to the exclusive right of the author and the restriction of the author to an original work, which has been granted under copyright law. Criticism, analysis, opinion, news, academics, search engines and library archiving are all possible. Plagiarism means credit or the theft of an idea or job of another human. This may also involve the use of the creative invention of another entity, without correctly crediting the creator of the original or a new or original concept from the current source. Netiquette applies in contact or on the Internet to ethical guidelines. It includes guidelines on how to behave and the objective essence of the process during debates. Netiquette is usually given by individuals who can identify violators or netiquette violations immediately.

I also knew some issues related in using media and information are: digital divide, addiction, virtual self and cyber bullying or cyber-harassment.

UNIT 6: Media and Information Languages

I learned the media and information languages. And also I understand the codes means signals generating meaning. There are three codes the first one is technical codes refer to methods of telling the story by using an equipment or device. This includes the functioning of cameras in a movie, its structuring, lighting etc. For example: Basic Shots for Camera, shot angles and camera movements.

The second one is symbolic code reveal or display what the audience sees below. For example, the acts of an actor or an individual represent or explain the feeling or thinking of that character.

UNIT 5: Media and Information Sources

I learned the media and information resources. First the indigenous media refers to any form of media using indigenous knowledge that is created and operated by, for, and about the community. Indigenous awareness refers to an uncommon source of information that is conveyed by people's media or through indigenous media. Indigenous knowledge is characterized as knowledge that is unique to a particular culture or society (Warren, 1991). Examples of this are Northern Dispatch Weekly (NORDIS) Philippines, Zigzag Weekly, and Northern Philippine Times.

Second, library a place where various people are present and use literary, musical, artistic or reference books or resources, but not for sale. Examples of this are books, academic journals and encyclopedia.

Third, mass media reaches a large audience through published, spoken, or broadcast contact. Examples of this are newspaper gather and edit stories or documents, usually published on a daily basis, covering current events for information or entertainment. People read newspapers to collect up-to-date local, national and international knowledge. Wireless this applies to the propagation of sound signals from a transmitter through the air as radio waves, captured by an antenna and transmitted to a receiver. Electromagnetic networks connect radio stations that communicate information and messages. Television– like Radio, Television– sends information and messages through the air, but instead of just sound, television also sends through to visual images.

And last, database the types of items in the collection are cited in the newspapers, newspapers, magazines, podcasts and other media. It can also include short summaries or comprehensive information about such articles.

UNIT 4: Types of Media

I learned that the media is utilization or mass exchange of knowledge by different devices, such as telephone, radio, phones, and computers. This includes any object used for relaying messages. Media is a source of reliable information, because the content of media is provided by a credible company or has been published. Also, there are types of media the print media, broadcasting media, and new media. 

The Print media refers to prints that provide information such as books, newsletters, magazines, journals, etc. The journal is the most popular form of print media that plays a major role in the everyday life of an individual. Newspapers compile, edit, details or entertainment news or posts. 

 Broadcasting is the delivery of audio or video material in a single-to - one format to a distributed audience via any electronic mass media, but usually using the electromagnetic spectrum (radio magnetic waves). 

New media refers to content that can easily be accessed on any digital device on the Internet. New media sources include websites (e.g. forums, social media, online journals, etc.) and even video games. New media is available to an interactive community, as opposed to previous technology. New Media deliberately provides content that enables people to share their views on several subjects and discuss them.

UNIT 3: Information Literacy

I learned that the Information is a term which refers to knowledge or processed data collected through research or experience. Info Literacy refers to understanding when information is needed. This also includes the ability to accurately identify, interpret, assess, interact and use data in various forms. In other words, information literacy means finding and learning how to use the right information. I also knew the importance of information literacy. According to Shigeru Aoyagi from the Division of Basic education, UNESCO,' Informational literacy is becoming an aspect that is becoming increasingly important for all societies, not only for the promotion of the policy and strategies of literacy, but also for the promotion of human development's overarching global policies.' Also the significance of info literacy, Information literature provides us with information capabilities, including the use of technology, for location and evaluation. For many years now, information literacy has been an educational concern. Now, both staff and students are more concerned with learning computer and IT skills. When technology grows rapidly in our society, being informed about knowledge is as important as being educated about technology. Information is much easier to access and locate information through information technology. The use of technology allows a person to access a wide range of information for personal, professional or academic purposes.

UNIT 2: The Evolution of Traditional to New Media

I learned the Evolution of Traditional to New Media. First, the prehistoric technology refers to the technology which exists in the past. History involves the analysis of the events documented in the past. Everything before the first written history, including older inventions, is primitive. Technology began with the earlier hominids that used stone tools they used to start fires, hunt and bury their dead around 2, 5 million years before writing was created.

 Second, the industrial age, which includes economic and social organizational changes, started around 1760–and later in other countries. The concentration of the industry in huge companies and the replacement of manually driven instruments with computer-driven machines (e.g. power loom and steam engines) were recognized for this period of history. 

Third, the Electronic age is a time in which people can communicate with anybody quickly–and instantaneously. It was initiated by the telegraph invention in 1844. In a person's daily life, communication with the world has become constant. We felt more important than what we thought. Electronic media have told people around the world of events without leaving their homes comfortably. 

The last is the age of information, also called the digital age, computer age or the new age of media, is described as a economy based on computing information improved from the industrialized revolution. This is a more interactive experience. The public is more involved and can provide feedback at the same time, and all these aspects of traditional media are integrated into new media.

UNIT 1: Introduction to Media and Information Literacy

I learned that the literacy in media and knowledge brings together subjects that were initially independent and distinct. Media and Information Literacy seeks to empower people with essential knowledge about the roles of media and information systems in a democratic society, how those functions are implemented and how citizens judge the quality of the content they offer.

In turn, MIL means vital abilities and skills to empower today's people, such as the ability to engage efficiently with media and information systems, develop critical thinking and lifelong learning skills that will help them connect and become engaged citizens. Those targets underpin the draft media model and curriculum for knowledge literacy.

I’ve also known the types of literacy and communication. The types of literacy are the media, information, and technology literacy. Media Literacy is to the reading, study, assessment, and development of information in various forms of media. Information literacy is the ability to know when information is needed. Individuals who are literate in knowledge will demonstrate skills in several fields. Technology Literacy is the ability to discover, develop, analyze, or use knowledge by understanding how to use technology, its resources or networks. The Communication is characterized as the process by which language, symbols, or ways are used to share information or state opinions or thoughts. It is also known as the exchange of information and the expression of thoughts or ideas that may lead to understanding. There are 2 basic types of communication the verbal and non verbal.
