Week 2 - Tutorial Task

It's been quite a while that iPhone 4 was released, but I really wanted to show you how much this Facetime technology has changed the way we communicate. Like Skype, it's a definitely a good way to communicate with your family who you don't meet so often or even a friend who is overseas or perhaps if you want to show someone your new look! I think this advertisement/video for iPhone's Facetime is relevant to our communication technology today.

*PART 2*
I have an iPhone application called Kakao Talk. It allows you to send free text messages to people you know who owns this app. Not exactly free if you don't have a wireless internet around you but it's seriously one of the apps I recommend. Since a lot of my friends and family uses the iPhone, I found this app an efficient way to communicate especially when overseas. I travelled around europe with my friend during the mid-sem holidays, and Kakao Talk was very useful to communicate with my mum. Since I wasn't able to communicate with her on the phone, and free wireless internet was easy to find, I was able to tell her where I was, what I was up to and also send her some pictures. In the Korean community, the app, Kakao Talk is well-known. I found it through my friend. Not to mention, in Korea, all smart phones are compatible with this app so from time to time I chat with my aunts and uncles over there which is awesome! I found it very easy to communicate. And like everyone, Facebook is also definitely an easy way to connect with friends, or even re-connect with some you haven't talked to in a while.

Privacy is always and will be an ongoing issue over the Internet. We can't really do anything about it. Even if you do set your profile on private, Facebook employees would know what you talk about with friends if they start hacking you. It is disturbing but in a way, people really don't care. Well, I don't anyway because I'm not famous.

I don't associate with people I've never met on the Internet. I think I've watched too many movies. Strangers scare me. All in all, iPhone is probably the best innovative technology. There are so many apps that you can connect with your friends! Cannot live without it.
