WEEK-1- 3rd and 4th Quarter LEFT

    On the first day, the orientation, I woke up and feeling nervous about what's gonna happen and I don't know what to do when I get there. I wonder if I will have friends or not. I was a little bit late that day because I didn't know that the registration form is needed. Then I entered the orientation and I found my schoolamte in my highschool days then I joined them. That day I was very happy because found a friend so that I wont have a hard time finding new friends because I'm really really shy and always nervous. Then the second day I was also very happy because there were no class, the professors gave us time to meet and to know each other. The third day we met our professor on our major subject, mis a, on the first look I was really scared of her because she looks so strict and serious but, when the class is on, she is really really funny and very cool.

    The days go on, and I was able to befriend my other classmates and the days got longer becouse of our bondings, not only with each other students but also with the professors. That's what I liked most in the college life, the bondings with the friendly professors and they care about their students, because they are concerned about our future not like the professors in other institutions, the professors doesn't care about their students,  all they do is to teach but they don't care if their students understand what they're teaching.

Now we're halfway done in our semester and I am still amazed because of the fast exams in college, in half a year we need to take four major examinations and the other semester, another four wahaha!
All I can say, in my three months stay in Lyceum, IT WAS GREAT!

NEW MEDIA

New media.
What is it?
New media is the new means of communication, new medium of communicating from the word media.
So what is it all about?

New media is what makes our communication fast and instant. New media is the product of the fast growing technology, and we can't stop it, that is why it is called new media. In the older times, the telegraphs, fax machines, and other means of communication was called new media. New media for now are the internet sites, it is the new way of expressing yourself, new way to express your thoughts and insights. New media is good but still, everything that is too much is bad because when the new media grow and grow as said on the video I watched, the computers may excel the human brains and it is scary. New media let's us for example, you forgot an assignment and you need to ask your classmate, you don't need to go their house, just go online on facebook, yahoo or other social internet sites and ask 'em. That's how new media helps us but it can make you lazy example, you're in the school with your group mates and you need to have a meeting for the project planning, you'll just tell them to go online and just chat. New media makes some people lazy. That example will lead to some misunderstandings so still, everything has it's own bad thing. We can't control the evolution of new media but we can control "it" with ourselves.

SOCIAL MEDIA REVOLUTION

Today, our professor presented two video presentations about social media.


On the first video, we saw the video about how the social media technology evolve and develop. We saw there that based on research and surveys, in average, adults spend 15+ hours a week surfing the net. We also saw there how the social blogging sites are updated every time. There were 2-3 new tweets updated every second and absolutely 50 million tweets every month. In the video streaming sites, YouTube is the most visited in its category. YouTube is the 4th of the most visited site all aver the internet. The 2nd of the most visited site is Google, we know why, I think, because it is the most reliable and most known search engine in the internet. Then lastly the most visited site and the most popular online blogging site is non other than Facebook. It's not that very surprising because we all know that. Because, all you need is there. Now a days, facebook provides video chat, that made it more popular and reliable. See? How can you imagine, the social media has evolved like this.
