For social networking sites (Facebook, Twitter &Blogger) and IPhone applications, I spent 34% ofmedia use time on checking up these media.

Print materials , radio and television only take me11% of time.

Interpretation of result


8/16

I spent averagely 3.8 hours on internet ever day. It comes tobe second major group of time amongst my peers. In otherword, my time used on internet is slightly higher than the

other JOUR1111 Students.

Internet


9/16

First of all, internet is undoubtedly playing a main role of my dailylife. So.why is it? And why it was not the same compared to 10years ago?

Being a university student, loads of researches are needed to be

done for assignments. Online resources appear to be the mostconvenience way of gathering information. Through the internet, wecan even access to most of the journals form the library; andinformation (no matter it is credible or not) from various onlineencyclopedia such as Wikipedia. Even more, there are always caseson how internet helps particular fields of studies.

For me, I am studying languages . Therefore, I would havedifficulties on understanding foreign languages sometimes. One bigpart of my online activities is to look up meanings of words. Onlinedictionaries and translators now replaced paper dictionaries as it ismuch more convenience, especially for pronunciations of words.

Okay, its time for explanation


10/16

When I was still in primary school and high school, I alwayshave overweighed school bag with me. But now in university,we are able to access lecture notes online but not necessarilyprinting the papers and bring it with us ever day. I am able to

manger my life in a more convenience way with technology.Internet helps me to develop more personal interests such asphotography, languages, films and

music. Old media such as print

materials and television are

irreplaceable. However, new media

(What I refer is internet and IPhone

application) makes life more easy

and informative.

Be more personally, what I experiencedand what I feel


11/16

There is 38% of my time used on social networking

sites, why is it happening and what is the point of

using it?

What the effects social networking sites bring to oursociety?

Questions


12/16

Noticeably, social networking becomes my habitually mediause. Despite some disadvantages that social networking'ssites bring to us, they do link people all over the world and

bring us a easy way for contacting each other. In Peer surveyresult (refer to figure below), it shows that JOUR1111students usually have one or more Facebook account, only2.8% of students do not have any accounts. I own one

Facebook account and it makes me easy to contact with myfriends, colleagues and families.


13/16

1.However, the result may not be accurate due tofollow reason:

Most of the time I listen to music and do my otherworks at the same time. In my data collection, musicis counted as individual. Therefore, it spreads out thedata and makes the data becomes inaccurate.

2. Nonetheless, statistics that showed in this report willchange over time span of the participants. It can onlyshows that new media are now dominant form ofmedia.

Shortcomings


14/16

In modern society, internet is the most dominant tool ofinformation flows. Improving, communicating with the field offinance, education, politics are all depend on internet.

Under development of New media, we are able to create andshare our stories without boarders. However, there are massiveamounts of critics about internet has been disturbing humansinterpersonal communication. No matter who is right or wrong.It is a fact that internet emerged in our world and spread

information quickly as fast as it can be. We can even imagine ourchildren living in a typing-communication world. We can sellPrint media has been peeling for a while.

However, old media will not be replaced at all, social media cannever replace reporting.

Alright, then what is the relationship between thisreport and study of journalism? How you link yourself

to the world of journalism?


15/16

Journalist is a professional full-time job that requirespractices, networks and credible resources. News frombloggers can not be regarded as credible. Blogs are more

like stories.In the future, newspapers will simply evolve into other

forms. Old media will not die.It is not end of the world for journalists, we are still theone who present the past, current and the future ofhuman history.
