New Communication Technology(Tutorial 3 part2)

Along with the rapid development in digital, multimedia and network communication technology, internet has become the most important way to acquire the information for people. The use of modern network communication tools has become widespread. I have been to use those kinds of tools for 5 years. The initial reason for using these tools because I feel that is fun and I was bursting with curiosity. Moreover, most of my friends are use those kinds of communication tools. Now I find that these tools really useful for me. I am far from home now and could not stay with my family, these tools become more important for me.

Some companies (like Facebook, Google, etc) collect the user's information is necessary. While protecting the user's privacy, these companies must do the most complete information protection.

New Communication Technology's development (Tutorial 3 part1)

This video is very interesting. The author imagines the future development of new communication technologies. First, Nokia cell phone, the chip is installed in people’s finger. Second, a now Erickson cell phone, the chip is implanted in people’s nose. In the end, a man put a fart, he says he received a fax. Although the ending is funny, but it also reflects the development of new communication technologies is inestimable. Also I think the future development of new communication technology will result in new and major leaps.
