We started of today’s lecture by watching a video “EPIC 2014”. The video talks about the origin of Google, Amazon.com, and Friendster. It deals with the advancements made by Google. Google forms a grid with all its applications. It is known as the Google grid. MSN launches the news botster. The video shows the merging of Google and Amazon.com to form Google Zone in 2008. Finally Google launches EPIC (Evolving personalised information construct) in 2014. It has contributions from everyone and some may even get paid for it.
Then the lecture dealt with new media, internet and cyber cultural studies. The popular media interest in early 90’s was the internet. By end of 90’s people started looking at the internet as a whole new area. They started studying about the social networking and economic interactions happening over the internet. The four types of investigations which were taking place online were contextualising interactions, discoursing cyber space, digital design, online access and barriers. There is a lot of research going on in the new media department. That sums up the lecture about the study on new media.
