TWC Week 05

15 years ago, have we ever thought that we are able to interact someone who is on the screen? For me, i never thought of that. I was just simply happy about the super mario that was in my "gameboy." It's amazing that 15 years later which is today, technologies have make a change in gaming sector that simply impacts the younger generation.




How Milo interacted is just as real as a human. Sometimes we couldn't differentiate ourselves with them because "they" are just too real as a person and at the same time we are too engross in the environment. Even when Milo throws the goggles, the girl reaction was just so naturally that she catches the goggles and fitted it on her. The reaction simply changes our mindset that we are in fact playing with a computerized game. That's how the gaming industry have evolved throughout the years. From a gameboy to nintendoDS to now XBOX.


It brings to my attention that how ICT facilitates the knowledge revolution.The revolution of mass media, internet, gaming, wireless technologies, interactive telecommunication, interactive systems affects the way we think, our ideas and principles. We apply what we have learnt and understand through the various research, mapped and translate into a "valuable" information which is the intangible assets, "knowledge."


One of the most interesting insights that i got was how internet changes and evolves. From a static and non interactive web to slightly more interaction web pages such as amazon and now web that seems to understand what you want or need which is GOOGLE! I think google is one of the interactive websites that increases our knowledge through the the use it's nature of search engine.


Second presentation was the in2015 which is a Singapore government plan that wishes to achieve in 2015. However it drives to my though that whether Singapore could achieve the plan of having information sharing through the use of EMRX with the GPs and the government hospitals. I felt that is it relatively hard to integrate all information at once from various GPs and hospitals because information could be repeated and worst scenario, wrong information, errors contain in the prescription. Hence I felt that is relatively important to examine the impact when comes to healthcare because it's a matter of life.


Overall, i rate the lesson 8/10 because of the content that covers how technologies changes over the years and the possible future aspects. However i felt that we could identify more on the implications and impacts of ICT because we could reflect on how ICT could possibly improve in technologies and KNOWLEDGE. :)
