My Report:
With the IT industry quickly developed, there are more popular technology used in our daily life, such as Blog, Wikipedia, Facebook, YouTube and Twitter.
I have many wonderful experiences of using these popular tools. Meanwhile, Blog is one of my favorite technology used in my life. I update my Blog regularly. I always convey my feelings in my Blog. Besides, I like visiting all kinds of blog-pages which record many interesting stories, news and articles. It is a better channel to broaden our horizon, and we can acquire many different culture and knowledge. Moreover, Blogs is a quite good way to communicate with different people. Sometimes, people can interchange their ideals by leaving messages with the blog-owner, which is a pretty wonderful experience.
Recently, there is explosive growth of Microblogs in China. The audience of Liu Xiang, the Olympic winner, has passed ten million. Many companies, press and even local government, authorities, bureaus all create there Microblog account. Although Microblog only send 144 characters, it is influencing people’s daily life. For instance, People can easily get the summaries and comments about one book, can quickly acquire the latest news or information. Meanwhile, the speed is so quick. Therefore, there is a catchword in China, “Are you playing Microblog, today?”
In addition, “Wikipedia” is a fairly good tool. If you have some unknowns whatever involve Business, Economy, Education or any thing else. “Wikipedia” will help you, and give you a clear explanation and concept. Therefore, you can easily learn by yourself. In China, a majority of students and teachers like using “Baidu Baike”, which is similar to “Wikipedia”. Besides, there is another widely used technology by the young called “Baidu Zhidao”. In that system, users can on-line ask questions, then other users will answer those questions or give some suggestions. Sometimes, the responders even provide specific web-page links. Through this channel, the questions can be easily and quickly solved. To some extend, it is an interactive study process.
The majority of children, teenages and young people all love using above technologies. In their opinion, it stands for popularity and trend. If you do not use them, perhaps it means you have fallen behind the times. However, some parents and old people do not like them. They think it wastes time, and children need spend more time on their study. To some extent, some old person do not believe IT is a good assistant for learning. While, there are more children and youngs only regard IT as a tool to entertainment in China. Therefore, there still exist some differences about the role of IT, for learning, teaching or only recreation.
