This is the final blog post of the module. This week in the lecture we looked at the future of Web 2.0 and the introduction of Web3.0. This is expected to have more interaction from the public and more integration. People are expected to increase their use of virtual worlds like second life and multi-player games. Some expect people to have two separate lifes an online one and a virtual one.
It is also expected that in the future we will become even more reliant on mobile technology, this is an area of massive growth and with smart phones becoming increasingly advanced we will see a move from using PC's to using mobile devices and tablet PC's.
This module has been a very interesting module, it has dealt with very correct issues and has highlighted the benefits and costs of Web2.0 and specifically social media. The diagram below shows the all of the topics which we have studied over the past 12 weeks.
Although I did find the module enjoyable I did find some aspects of the module very simplistic, specifically when looking at specific topics such as; blogging; social networking; and collaborative writing. These are all a part of most peoples everyday lives and as such I felt we could have tackled more advanced issues relating to these topics.
The lectures were delivered to a high standard and the slides were available in plenty of time each week. The seminars were very insightful however in some cases they lacked enough activities to cover the full hour.
The E-activity's were by far the most interesting aspect of the module as the allowed for practical investigation of specific issues. This has helped me to develop ideas for possible dissertation topics relating to technology management, possibly looking at the idea of measuring social networking effectiveness.
Finally the blog has provided a great outlet for consolidation of learning. It has encouraged me to further investigate topics after each lecture and has given me a better grasp of the topics delivered through the module.
Thank you for reading my blog over the past weeks, I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
