The Stages Phases of Internet Development PPTRahul John
The Internet evolved over several phases: (1) It began in the 1950s as a military network called ARPANET to enable communication if parts of the network were destroyed. (2) In the 1970s, TCP/IP protocols were developed to allow interconnected networks. (3) The 1990s brought the World Wide Web and browsers, making the Internet accessible to the general public. The Internet then entered a commercial phase with widespread adoption in the late 1990s.
Technological convergence refers to the merging of previously separate technologies like voice, data, and video so they can share resources and interact synergistically. Specifically, this involves converging technologies like telephony and data communications into common interfaces on single devices. The rise of digital communication has allowed media organizations to explore multimedia delivery and convergence across news media. However, technological convergence tends to be experimental in nature, leading consumers to own multiple devices that can perform the same tasks rather than one dedicated device, creating unnecessary clutter.
The Internet is a global network that connects computers around the world through wires. It began in the late 1950s and saw rapid growth in the 1970s and 1980s as more computers and networks were connected. By the early 2000s there were over 200 million connected hosts. The Internet allows for fast communication and entertainment through browsing websites, searching online, downloading content, and more. While it provides advantages like cheap communication and access to news and education, it also enables certain disadvantages like encouraging violence, pornography, and reducing outdoor activity for some users.
The document discusses six networks that have changed communication over the past 200 years:
1) The cable network established in 1835 with the telegraph, allowing electrical pulses to be transmitted through cables.
2) The broadcast network enabled electromagnetic signals to be broadcast through the air and received by many receivers, including early radio and television.
3) The exchange network began with telephone switchboards connecting multiple phone lines.
4) The constellation network started with the Telstar 1 satellite enabling live television signals to be transmitted across oceans.
5) The cell network featured early antennas disguised as cacti that transmitted radio waves to enable mobile phone communication.
6) The web network originated in the 1970s with connections
This document provides an introduction to the course "Studies in Digital Technology" which examines digital media in a social context. It discusses key concepts like new media, Web 2.0, participation, and social media. Examples of new media discussed include digital cinema, YouTube, mobile phones, and digital publishing. The document also summarizes theories around new media and the transition to digital/networked media.
The document discusses several common advertising techniques used to influence consumer buying decisions. Repetition uses frequent repetition of logos, jingles or ads to increase familiarity. Bandwagon appeal leverages people's desire to fit in by implying everyone else is using the product. Celebrity testimonials take advantage of people's trust in familiar celebrities. The association principle links products to desirable traits or qualities in subtle ways. Emotional appeals activate emotions like fear or sadness to influence reactions.

Starting a decade ago, the most famous mar-

a Verizon Wireless test technician wearing
horn-rimmed glasses saying “Can you hear me
now?” into his phone from various locations.
These days, the original purpose of a mobile
phone—a voice call—is no longer the main
attraction. Instead, the Blackberry, the iPhone,
and Google’s Android phones lead a growing list
of smartphones that feature options like mobile
broadband, Wi-Fi, texting, GPS navigators,
music players, touch screens, full keyboards,
cameras, and speech recognition. Mobile
phones today represent a “fourth screen” (after
movie screens, televisions, and computers) for
many users, allowing us to go online, watch vid-
eos, or take and send photos wherever we are.
We may be on the go, but now we aren’t discon-
nected from the mass media—we take it with us.

THE INTERNET, DIGITAL MEDIA,
AND MEDIA CONVERGENCE
The change in the technology and
culture of mobile phones is evident
in current mobile phone marketing.
When HTC released its Droid Incred-
ible smartphone for Verizon in 2010,
voice calls were hardly even a feature
worth promoting. Indeed, the only times
Verizon mentioned voice was in connec-
tion to the voice-enabled keyboard (so
users can speak their text messages in-
stead of typing them) and voice search,
which uses voice recognition to search
Google. The more important features
in the marketing campaign were the
powerful processors, the touch screen,
social networking ease, synced e-mail
accounts, Google Maps, the 8 mega-
pixel camera, and thousands of apps
and widgets from the Android Market
(similar to the iPhone’s App Store).
One of the latest entries, Motorola’s
Bravo (for AT&T) is a smartphone whose
design and features focus on Web
browsing and social networking so much

An information society is one where information creation, distribution, use and manipulation is a major economic and cultural activity. The goal is to gain competitive advantage using information technology. The knowledge economy is the economic counterpart, creating wealth through understanding. People who engage in this are called digital citizens.
Applications of information technology include science, engineering, business, commerce, education, governance, medicine and entertainment. Computers are increasingly powerful information tools and more affordable and easy to use. Humans are dependent on IT devices for tasks from remembering numbers to flying planes.

The goal is to gain competitive advantage using information technology. The knowledge economy is the economic counterpart, creating wealth through exploiting knowledge. People who participate are sometimes called digital citizens.
Applications of information technology are found in science, engineering, business, commerce, education, governance, medicine and entertainment. Computers and devices are increasingly powerful and easier to use, with humans dependent on them for tasks from remembering information to complex functions.
The Information Era began around 1970 and is characterized by the abundant publication, consumption, and manipulation of information, especially through computers and computer networks. Key technologies of this era included radio, television, personal computers, and the Internet. Media serves several important roles in society, including entertainment, information and education, as a public forum, and as a watchdog over powerful institutions. However, different forms of media are better suited for certain roles based on their capabilities - for example, books can contain more information than newspapers but are slower to produce. Regardless of the format, media has drastically shaped culture and society.
ICTs such as the internet, mobile phones, and digital technologies have eroded barriers of time and space, allowing for swift global communication flows. ICTs play an important role in globalization by facilitating the sharing of information worldwide and enabling real-time interaction across borders. While ICTs can promote development by increasing access to information, a digital divide still exists between developed and developing nations in infrastructure and skills. Both positive and negative consequences can arise from increased global media, including greater connectivity but also risks of exclusion.
