Test III: Essay; explain briefly
1. Compare and contrast between Media Convergence and Media morphosis.
Media convergence is a phenomenon that involves the interconnection of
information and communication technologies, computer network, and media content. It
enables an entire new form of content to emerge. While, mediamorphosis refers to the
transformation of communication media. It also means media which refers to “medium”
and morphosis which means “evolving”, therefore mediamorphosis is basically media
and its culture that is undergoing changes.
2. Give the difference between Google Meet and Zoom.
Google meet and Zoom are both application that is used for virtual events and
meetings however there are quite difference in terms of its usage and features. Google
meet has built-in tools for live closed captions, it also offers noise cancellation on all its
plans, it only supports up to 250 participants, you are able to attach all sorts of files
(PDF’s, video files and etc.), you can share documents presentations spreadsheets, and
many more during the meeting or call. While in Zoom meetings you must use a third party app for closed captioning, it supports up to 1000 participants, file transfer enables
you to send files to other participants during the meeting or webinar through chat, you
can specifically send to all participants, directly to one participant or specific predefined
groups, in terms of screen sharing Zoom lets you choose what to share and allows
screen sharing by multiple people at the same time.
3. What is the impact of internet to the society?
The internet played a big impact to the society. It has been very helpful and it
made our lives easier and much more convenient. With the use of internet
communicating with people has been very useful and convenient for we no longer have
to wait for days, weeks and months just to get a response especially from our loved
ones, friends and family that lives in a distant/remote area. Seeking for a job opportunity
is no longer a problem because a lot of those are posted online. People can also work at
home by opening a business online and many more. However, internet also has
disadvantages. People feel too comfortable and have too much freedom of speech that
they keep on posting inappropriate messages and foul words with the intention of
harming/hurting someone causing them to feel bad about themselves and later on
commit sins that they later on regret doing. Most people get addicted to internet making
them lose the connection and bond of having a family, friend and relative. Children are
getting overly sensitive when using internet and playing online games all day in their
rooms, losing their chance to make fun memories and engage themselves in sports and
other recreative activities to make their body strong and healthy. Society is living a digital
life, and we rely too much on it.
Good luck and God bless!
