Media Platforms :)

In my lesson today I was told to summaries what I learntSo here it goes..

E-Media:

Internet, World Wide Web whatever you want to call it is one of the main fastest growing platforms at the

moment. it has grown rapidly because of

how the audience use and connect with it. in terms of the

technology its producing we now have mobile phones that tell us where to go, to send pictures, go on the internet (part of e-media) etc.

Now E-media can be used to let people show online for food on a regular basis without having to leave home, e-mail friends, play online games, have webcam chats etc.

In a sense there is no one who actually owns the internet. There are people who own sites like facebook for example, but they have no right to tell us what we can and cant do on our page, yes there are restrictions on what we could put on, but thats just to stop other audiences of facebook being offended. So who can really tell us what to do on the internet?

OFCOM:

OFCOM means Office of Communication. It was made in 2003 to regulate television, radio, telecommunications and wireless

communication services. OFCOM deals with complaints people make, competition between the programs, monitors standards and deals with licences.

On My AS Level this makes a huge impact as i will need to learn most of these facts for my exams.

I can apply this to most of my exams no matter what it is. Because this will come under most of my exams in the future.

I liked the way the lesson was done, i'll think of something that could of been done better soon but for now i'm tired so i'm going to bed Night *Turns of the lights*
