Week 1 - Tutorial

Well as I said in my first post, in the first tute for this class I set up this blog. But when we first walked in the class gathered around to have a chat. After getting all the housekeeping out of the way we talked bout the tute*spark.

This weeks tute*spark was "how to distinguish between old and new technologies and when does new comm. tech become old communication technologies." What helped with my questions from the lecture is the tutors view that we can consider Old technologies as analog, and new technologies as the digital age. This definition makes it possible to distinguish between things like T.v. and phones which have been around for along time but are still considered new.

The concept of convergence was touched on which is the combination of different technologies to create a new communication technology. This would include things like smart phones, or internet capabilities on t.v.'s.
