I TRY MY BEST TO IMPROVE MYSELF

Sunday, January 17, 2010


I use Microsoft Office Power Point to do this task. Firstly, i make a new slide and I search Lady Gaga image using Google images search. After I got the picture that similar with the picture in the original advertisement, I copied it out and pasted it to the slide. After that, I started to insert up neccessary shapes and text into the slide.
Firstly, I insert up the alphabet G and then the word " GALAXIE ". Then, I insert up a red oval shape and I insert text into it. After that, I insert word art into the slide. I insert words such as " GOING GAGA OVER LADY GAGA " and the others word that contains in the original advertisement.
After I completed the slide, I save it as type JPEG. I did not use any help tools. I also did not got help from friends. I just try to do it by myself although doing this reproduce advertisement is something new for me.
Frankly, I am not a good typist or designer and I also not good in computer. I give 6 to myself. Although that, I will try my very best to improve my computer skills and I hope this course can help me with it.

Information Technology

In the broadest sense, information technology refers to both the hardware and software that are used to store, retrieve, and manipulate information. At the lowest level you have the servers with an operating system. Installed on these servers are things like database and web serving software. The servers are connected to each other and to users via a network infrastructure. And the users accessing these servers have their own hardware, operating system, and software tools.

Computer Mediated Communication

Computer-Mediated Communication (CMC) is the process by which people create, exchange, and perceive information using networked telecommunications systems (or non-networked computers) that facilitate encoding, transmitting, and decoding messages. Studies of CMC can view this process from a variety of interdisciplinary theoretical perspectives by focusing on some combination of people, technology, processes, or effects. Some of these perspectives include the social, cognitive/psychological, linguistic, cultural, technical, or political aspects; and/or draw on fields such as human communication, rhetoric and composition, media studies, human-computer interaction, journalism, telecommunications, computer science, technical communication, or information studies.

Three areas where good netiquette is highly stressed are e-mail, online chat, and newsgroups.
