By web we learn...

By glancing and surfing the wide web, there are so many ways for us to improve ourselves whether for how to speak properly, write properly, know what to read and simply what to hear or listen to. You may pick up some website your already knew. I myself picked quite a few for example

www.englishtime.us

www.free-english-study.com

www.onestopenglish.com

you might say yourselves this website is better

than the rest but your opinion states

like the other. People reception ARE different but what others can say.

Some might say the web lack interaction. Other

might say the reference is too limited. There are

other who not really care and might skipped several lesson which

might be important just to finish the lesson as early as possible. However, all of the web maintain its sole purpose : to help others to improve their English by all possible means. Thus they put up more simple and less complex explanation.

The other thing we seek to learn inside the Internet is; the one we mostly not noticed, TRANSLATIONS. For none native speakers like us Malaysians, we unconsciously construct sentences with our own language first then we translate them. For some the second process proves to be difficult. Some also find it hard to translate certain words. Did you ever bumped into a situation when writing an essay and we say,' Oh, what is that word again.' or ' God, I know this, I know this.' but still the word we seek did not come. Hence, the translation web exist. I give you some to look at :

www.stars21.com

www.babelfish.yahoo.com

www.microsofttranslator.com

Yes, yes the webs are indeed useful but there some glitches. One is the capacity of the translation websites. If you noticed, the webs can only translate simple sentences. Complex sentences can lead to more direct translation where the translated sentences tend to be funny and obviously grammatically wrong. The web also cannot translate nouns efficiently. Often in more uncommon nouns like type of fish, food and etc.. For example, in Malay ' ikan kerapu' is groupers. However, ' ikan siakap ' will not gives out as Asian Seabass but fish Siakap. Thus one must be critical and sensitive on using translation web.

To finish the advertisement, I used Microsoft Power Point. First, I tried to detect the fonts used for the words. Then, I find any suitable picture that complements the advertisement. Instead of download the picture needed from the Internet, I just used the picture I already have in my folders. My priority is to copycat the advertisement I got from the newspapers as similar as I could. For the advertisement to be able to be uploaded into my blog, I save the file as a PNG format (like a picture). To make sure the process is easier to manage, I phoned my friends to get any ideas and clearer picture of the task. By the range of ten, I only give myself 6 points since my experience in advertisements and graphic design is still weak.

To start the vast journey.

We know about the Net and the etiquette, the browser and what is ICT. Now is to guide on how are YOU going to sail through the pages. The browser has lots of things to click on to and too many symbols for early users to understand. What you need to know web page and links. These two is the face and hand that show and guide you from where you start to where you will end. Come with them is the url; the address of the web page itself. Others are symbols that correspondent to the links that help you search what are you actually looking for. If you want to learn step by step the navigation of websites and Net, how about practise them in this grey link : http://www.learnthenet.com/english/web/060www.htm

The fox is on fire.

Apart from using Internet to chat and calling a friend, Internet is widely use to search for information. The web browser or just browser is program that let us search through all the websites that contain any details that we want. Most computers are already been provided with Microsoft Internet Explorer. However, since the need to be fast and instant, many other competitors exist nowadays. The common one is Mozilla Firefox which has lots of tool bars and also plug ins but I still prefer to use Google Chrome since it is faster for browsing the Net. It is mostly up to you I guess. http://www.linfo.org/browser.html

What is this?

There are several rules while using Internet. In fact, it is not several yet plenty of do and don't in this wide binary world. This rules are what we call Netiquette. To make it easier to understand, just break the word to Net and etiquette. Net represents the network connection or Internet and the etiquette is the proper way for us to behave. Add both of them you will get a proper way for use to use Internet. Netiquette helps us to communicate with other persons in a good manner. This helps to prevent cultural abuse of networking such as using bad words and spamming. If you want to read a list of this rule, why don't you check this website. I believe it has some useful tips about Netiquette. http://www.albion.com/netiquette/book/index.html

From Me to You.

Since we have the internet, there are more interesting ways to talk to each other rather than dial-up a friend's number. By using Internet, we can chat and video call. Both of them are consider as components under computer-mediated communication. In a simple term that explain the interactions between one party to another via the use of network connections on different computer. Using other hardware like microphones and web camera, this method is one of the most useful way of communication.

The spider-spinned web.

Previously we had mention the word Internet. So here we like to discuss about that. I think, by the word itself you can get a general idea what is Internet itself. Basically, it is a Net. A net which connects, intertwined and spun itself to all the communication tools that get into its grasp. The net lets any users to get in touch with the other users almost without limit. The borders between worlds, countries and communities are now broken down thus promotes the unity of one world ; the Internet. From the extract taken from Whatis.com, Internet is a worldwide system of computer networks - a network of networks in which users at any one computer can, if they have permission, get information from any other computer (and sometimes talk directly to users at other computers).With such convenience, any information can be passed down at any time, anywhere and to anyone.

From papers to shimmering words.

We can see the developments of communication technology that targets the exchange of information. Thus we shall carry our journey towards the most obvious topic of all which is ICT.

In a general, public view of ICT which is an abbreviation from the words Information Communication Technology is a tool for which the information itself being exchange from one person to another. The tools compromises any technology that exist here today such as phones, cellular phones, Internet and etc. However the extract taken from the web, ICT is an umbrella term that includes any communication device or application, encompassing: radio, television, cellular phones, computer and network hardware and software, satellite systems and so on, as well as the various services and applications associated with them, such as videoconferencing and distance learning.

New idea in new age technology.

From the early dawn of men, human has develop various kind of means to exchange their ideas and thoughts or simply information. The information were also transmitted and received via various means of system, whether through language or other signs. The breakthrough of this exchange is by using electronics. Thus giving birth to communication technology that make use of any gadgets and machines. The earliest technology to pass ideas are through simple signs such as smokes, animal sounds and etc. Then using writing, the posts and mails exist. Primarily after the Industrial Revolution, the technology to exchange information progress into a new step with the usage of phones and in this new century the technology enhances itself into more complex means of communication that makes life simpler.Communication technology based on wikipedia.com that had been taken from the Information Technology Association of America (ITAA) stated that, "the study, design, development, implementation, support or management of computer-based information systems, particularly software applications and computer hardware." http://www.answers.com/topic/information-technology
