Increasing Knowledge

Watching a video about a person asking questions to another person. Whenever the person gets the question wrong, or he takes 4 to 5 seconds to answer he gets shocked.

Another video was shown about telegarden. Telegarden is like a garden that is made by a robot arm in which it can water, plant, and interact within a small garden of one user. At the same time you're able to look through the garden which is quite interesting because:

1. You can't rush the process since it's Mother Nature
2. Even though it's simple, people could actually enjoy the moments
3. Becomes quite interactive in terms of planting, watering, and exploring
4. Reconnect people from the cyber world to the physical world
5. Can be an influence to people to care and talk about "nature"

Telepistomology: the study of the nature of knowledge gained through remote, mediated sources (internet)

The new media seems to be giving advantages/disadvantages to governments/companies to view their actions/news about what is going to be done within news channel such as BBC World News. However, sometimes it's not 100% sure that the news is right since the company could just be saying it but not actually taking the actions. At the same time, some viewers themselves create a videos in order to have people notice about the problems and have them help the actual community to spread the protest out. In a way, this new media can really give off a negative and positive impact towards both the community of where we live in and companies (both private and public). Another way to say who it impacts, it would be the people and companies of the glocal (global+local) community.
