Synopsis:

The topic i have chosen is //movie-making in the new media age.// Following the reading on chapter 8 of “Web Studies,” one thing that was blatantly apparent is Roberts’ aversion to watching movies on a computer (p.107). For my web-page I will elaborate and discuss our current technological challenge and how many people may feel, they would much rather sit down and watch something on a television than a computer or laptop. One of the most common however is that people associate computers and laptops with being uncomfortable and doing work whereas they associate television with quiet relaxation. It the feeling one feels most comfortable where they can just enjoy themselves without a thought of other obstacle in their life. There are however two different types of people and their attitudes may vary greatly – the digital immigrants and the digital natives (Presnky). I will create two different page and elaborate on these two topic with pictures and info. These two groups represent two hugely different technological frames of mind and attitudes, and this notion of watching a movie on a computer may appeal to digital natives but not digital immigrants. A digital native is a person for whom digital technologies already existed when they were born, and hence has grown up with digital technology such as computers, the Internet, mobile phones and MP3s. Digital Immigrants are those whom were not born into the digital world but have, at some later point in our lives, become fascinated by and adopted many or most aspects of the new technology are, and always will be compared to them. The “digital immigrant accent” can be seen in such things as turning to the Internet for information second rather than first, or in reading the manual for a program rather than assuming that the program itself will teach us to use it. I will then connect these two ideas to //movie-making in the new media age.//
