Week 3 tutorial task

Well guys the times upon us for the second post in the blog (cheers). Just to let everyone know this is the first time that I have ever bestowed information to people over the internet before I meet them back in the real world. Well I figure that I probably wont meet most of the people that will read this in real life and if i wait to then ill never actually write this.(???) New communication technology has revolutionized the world we live in as far as I'm concerned. Keeping contact with people that are either half the world away or in the town across the river has never been easier or more exciting. MSN, myspace, friend finder. They're all new age communication technology's and they all help make life easier. The oldest of these dates back to the beginning of the year 2000 and the most recent still being created.
What first prompted me into using these new communications was the want of talking to my mates more often and chatting to the girls. This then developed into keeping in touch with family members that were far away and so there were no downsides.
Privacy isn't an issue at all simply because it is common knowledge that you should never give away information that you don't want intercepted, either over the internet or in real life. That and anything that i say to people or tell people is rubbish for everyone except the people who I'm conversing with.
Alrighty then all enjoy yourselves, till next time.

Welcome all to Wesley's blog for New Communications Technology. Here you will find my notes on the weekly lectures, information on yours truly and a variation of other facts. If this interests you then read on, if not, as they say, 'hang up the phone'.
