Critical reflection 1 (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 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.
