Virtual reality

the characteristics of new media 3 (Oct 23, Oct 25)

1.2.5 virtuality
1.2.6 which virtual reality?
1.2.7 cyberspace & 1.2.8 conclusion

I studied about Jean Baudrillard.
He said that real is more than real(현실보다 더 현실같은...)
Maybe Jean Baudrillard wanted to say that virtual reality comes soon.

What is virtual reality?
Do you think virtual reality looks like reality?
The answer could be 'Yes' or 'No'.
Virtual reality could be real but not exactly real.
On the other hand, virtual reality is existed in reality or virtual reality exists in reality.
You would be confuse when read my writing..

Anyway, we know virtual reality differently.
Because we don't have the same experience and don't live the same space.
When we watch a movie, we even understand it differently.
I think that virtual reality is up to us.

My definition of virtual reality is that we haven't had something before.
I mean, long time ago people didn't know what is computers and the telephone etc..
When they see those items, they would think it is virtual reality.
Even us, when we see some unusal stuff, we think it is not real.
we are very curious about them.
In conclusion, virtual reality is not familiar, but could be the same our reality.

dispersal VS distribute

the characteristics of new media 2 (Oct 9, Oct 11)

1.2.3 hypertext
1.2.4 dispersal

Definition of two words looks similar..but you can find difference.
Distribute is Mass media that means one way. For example, you can fine mass media easily/
TV, Radio etc..
Those send information to us directly...and we get new information which we haven't had.
However, dispersal is new media. It is already exist everywhere.
Wherever you can see around us if we want to know..
That is, we can participate whenever we like and tell whatever we say.
Both of dispersal and distribute should be difference.

Prosumer

Most of people can heard about 'Prosumer'.
Because this is the new word from internet users.
People are now prosumer which put together producer and consumer.
The way is the same of new media(dispersal).
The prosumer is not one way to send like mass media.
If I buy a product, I could give my oppion or what I think of it
and participate in more and more.
I belive that we live in 'Internet Zone'. That's why we could do it.

I'm also the prosumer.
When I buy something, I always tell them my thoughts about products.
hmm..I already live in new media era?

Interactivity & Feedback

the characteristics of new media 1 (Oct 2, Oct 4)

1.2.1 digitality
1.2.2 interactivity

Between interactivity and feedback, do you know difference?
Interactivity is respondings person by person.
When I ask you a question, you would answer my asking.
you would respond in language what I said. We have conversation between you and me.
However, feedback is that I don't expected the answer.
I just know that you get my information.

The presenter gave three problems. I'm going to talk about one of them.
Problem of definition..
People, objects even animal have specific names.
Because we want to distinguish or recongnize of them.
So we only know first definition of words..
For example, "a desk" which we usually use for studying..
But I can use it as "a chair"..I could sit on it..
Most people think me poolish when I point to the desk and say "chair".
Because they have learned the desk is the desk since they were young.

I belive that exact definitions are not exist..
We just give representation of people, objects and even animals...
