Week 5: Meikle F

I feel that the idea of the Net facilitating new types of media institution is very interesting to discuss. I personally agree with this view idea; the internet has bought so many new institutions to our lives already such as social networking sites, music downloading and avators. In the past these has never been heard of and probably would never have been used if it wasn't for the deveolpment of the internet. It is hard to imagine what life would be like without the internet and it's facilities as most of us depend upon the internet on a daily basis. The list of facilities on the internet are endless and will continue to develop as the internet progresses. I think the world would seem a very simple place if we didn't have the luxury of the internet and its accessories.

The internet bought a new way of promoting businesses and products at an afforable rate, which we have now discovered to be highly important as we are going through an economic downfall. I personally feel that internet gives you a modern feel and makes people and companies to feel modern and professional when using institutions based around the internet. You could also suggest that an istitution of 'free expression' has been created by the internet as there is finally a place where people can comment and express their own personal opinons without being bombarded by negativity. The success anf popularity of the internet can only increase if these institutions are allowed to be created and continue to develop.
