VARNELIS, DIGITAL MEDIA, THE TOOLS AND PRACTICE M. Schindler


    

Varnelis (2001) reported on digital media and networking that started in the nineties as communication and how to transfer all computing and technologies. With the techniques of using new media technologies, people were introduced to so many new ways of using the tools.  They could place the technology into their own personal practice.

Varnelis (2001) wrote about how people use technologies such as their phone and laptop to constantly communicate and interact on through networking. He described a man who deliberately left his phone and laptop in the car when stopping at Starbucks to not be tempted to catch up with media technology.  Another technology user was using iTunes to download music. Varnelis (2001) described how students can practice this technology by studying together and listening to music on their iPhones.

The media technology started with cell phones in Japan, Korean’s contribution to internet access through broadband, and then was realeased into the many internet media technology.

Varnelis (2001) discussed a flow of information as part of explaining the media technology along with users being present when using the tools. There are so many tools that are put into practice such as instant messaging, web meetings can occur. Users can collaborate in these kind of social media platforms.  Connectivity and processing this power to places that are not available to receive signals to laptops except through 4G connections in rural areas are available as internet technology.

 

In terms of Green’s approach to literacy, the operational, cultural, and critical literacy practices, the technologies now available globally give users in social and business platforms the ability to have speedy access and 4G, 5G access in difficult places for connectivity. Literacy skills and understanding the strategies that are common across the curriculums, have assisted people who want to use the technology and now can become computer literate. There is a socially constructed medium to choose from in literacy practice. (Durrant, et al. 2001, p. 1)      

Bottom-up expression was suggested to raise the level of professional and personal media forms of communication technology for social exchange and business-to-busines communication. “RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tags which included information systems’ relationship to diverse objects and places” (Varnelis, 2001, p. 5).  

Varnelis discussed intellectual property and specific research projects to be considered in the development of the social medic components. Wi-Fi access, eBay trades, and many networked publics became the mode of interacting in the soclal- media world. Peer-to-peer and Many-to-many distribution systems are the developments that were used by commercial media world.  Varnelis (2001) suggested that MySpace networks and other medias were captured by the young as interpersonal networks as network sharing of their stuff.

 

My thinking about the reading, is that the challenges made prior to the development of literacy in the technological sense were met.  Business is happy marketing, teens are using the technology to an ultimate level, and users learn and can successfully navigate through WiFi, broad-band and all the social and business networks.  I use my laptop to connect, use and input and output all the work needed for my graduate online level.
