Tet Holiday Homework [I decided to make up for the homework that I didn't do throughout the week that I was absent]
I chose the topic "Dinosaurs" from my book called "Dinosaurs" and from the website http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinosaur.
Differences:
- From the website, there are little amount of pictures, but therefore, there are lot of information but in the book, there are a lot of illustrations and the writers just summed up the needed information.
- On the website, the picture presented in 2D form, on the other hand, the book presented the picture in 3D (popped-up) form.
- On the website, there is NO writers' names or publisher, however, in the book, on the back cover, it tells us about the publisher.
- On the website, you get the information for free, but it costs a lot of money to be able to print a whole bunch of books to publish so they have to charge you money.
- On the website, there are a few of real images, while in the book, all of them are unreal images.
Similarties:
- The book and the website both have colorful images for the reader to understand more about the text.
- The book and the website both give us a specific knowledge about a topic.
- They both don't have specific author name on each information that we read.
- They both don't have date and time that the news were sumbited or when the book was released.
Question 2:
- I think these features can change the readers like the readers don't know anything about the author's name so they can't be sure to trust it or not. But other than that, I think the book is more trustworthy because before they publish the book, they have to check for grammar, mistake, information (whether it is true or not). On the other hand, there are lot of people who posted the information on the internet, so it might contains a lot of biased information because different people are writing on one post. Otherwise, the internet is more useful for a big project because you can get different information from different sources and it gives us a bigger amount of informations.
- To sum up what I just wrote above, the trustworthiness for both is mostly depends on the readers whether the reader want to read from where. Both of the internet and the book have good and bad sides for the reader to regconize. So...BE A SMART READER!!!! ☺☻☺☻

ICT News Report!!!!
Text means say goodbye to 'hello'
Tradition greetings like saying 'hello' has been replaced by language that we use in technology like 'hey', 'yo' or 'hola'. A simple 'goodbye' has also been replaced with 'ciao' or 'later'. As technologies got better and better in today's world, people also been affected by the language of it. Even a familiar word 'friend' has been 'kicked out' of people's language, the most common word they replaced 'friend' is 'mate' follow by 'buddy', 'pal' or 'dude'. According to Jonathon Green, a lexicographer and author of a dictionary of slang, the way that technologies work often results in us talking faster and using more slang, he also mention that he wouldn't be surprise if in 50 more years, there will be no use of saying 'goodbye' and 'hello'.
Tracy Blacher, MSN marketing director, said: "What is interesting is the speed that language is being modified by the adoption of new technology."
So we can see that not only that technologies affect the way we live, like we might use email instead of write a letter, but it also affect the language that we use today.
