Critical reflection 2 (WEEK 11)
It’s typical for a new technology to be adapted within a culture and used to support existing patterns of behavior. With your own relevant examples, answer these questions.
1) What kind of culture influences through technology can you see from today’s world?
2) Is there a possibility to reshape the (new) culture today via new technology, How?
In my opinion, I think it is possible to reshape the new culture today via new technology. According to the Bob Garfield’s theory, the TV culture also out of date already why impossible to reshape the culture via new technology??
Nowadays, many people use the internet to watch the TV program. They only need to wait a few minutes then they watch their TV program when they free. Sometime we also can download it then we can watch it every time every day in every where. Though the network TV program we can watch the live demonstration, spot coverage. For example, Beijing Olympic ceremony, spot competition, news and so on. So from the Network TV program we can know the situation in other country, and get the new information on the time.
Use the TV program, we no need spend a lot of money to buy VCD player, DVD player, tape player to watch the TV serial. It is waste money.
Except the television, another example is dictionary. We can see less people are using dictionary now. It very thick, heavy, and troublesome. So less people bring it again. When we want t find some word it also troublesome to find. But nowadays, people are less using dictionary again. They use computer dictionary when they are facing some problem. Inside the computer dictionary is more functionally compare with the dictionary. We only need to key in the word and press enter, and the meaning will appear on the screen. The size of computer dictionary is small so easy to bring it out.
There are the examples of new technology I give, it was make our life easy and change our culture today.

1) What kind of culture influences through technology can you see from today’s world?
2) Is there a possibility to reshape the (new) culture today via new technology, How?
In my opinion, I think we can see internet culture can influences through technology from today’s world. Internet is a network that links computer networks all over the world by satellite and telephone, connecting users with service networks such as e-mail and the World Wide Web. Through the internet we can get a lot of information, communicate with each other, business, promotion and so on. Internet culture was given a lot gains in our lifestyle.
According to the notes was given by the lecturers in week 11. The gain of the internet culture is a relativistic comprehension of situations that promotes the erosion of old biases and often expresses itself as tolerance. And it also an expanded neural capacity, an ability to accommodate a broad range of stimuli simultaneously.
But also have loss in internet culture, it is a fragmented of time and loss of that so- called duration of experience, that depth phenomenon we associate with reverie. That mean some time we online o we chat with someone until forget the time and still continue online. Internet culture also a reduced attention span and general impatience with sustained inquiry. That mean people don’t wan to try their best to try when they face so problem. They will search from some website like Wikipedia, Google and so on.

Critical reflection 2 (WEEK 10)
The documentary entitled "The Power of Nightmares (Part 3 - Shadow in the Cave)" by Adam Curtis was shown in class on Monday. How do you relate the informatioyou in the documentary to the theory of Media Imperialism that we talked about in lecture?
Like the example that the notes was given, The problem with just one company or one country(American) controlling the media is that media output can be biased. So American can decide on what information they want to, as well as what to censor. American through medias like the tv programs, movie, documentary and more to control us, and that is call imperialism. What the show or tv program that we watch most are produce by American. And this country has power to control us in media industries.

According to the note was given by the MLC lecturers, Media Imperialism is the idea that powerful and wealthy countries can exercise economic, cultural and social control over others through control of media industries. And other way, media Imperialism also a theory stating that smaller countries are losing their identity due to the force-feeding of media from larger nations. It can be equated to small community shops closing down due to large superstores moving in, taking over and having a monopoly.
From the video, “The Power of Nightmares”. In my opinion American is a authority country. American can control the weaker eastern country. From media imperialism, they also want to control use by using media, because they have a very good and authority in this industries.
