Newspapers Vs. News In A Digital Era

OLD Vs.NEW

Since we have reached chapter 4 which discusses newspapers, I thought about uploading a video related to the topic of the chapter. Newspapers, as we predicted about books, are also facing a threat of whether or not they will still exist in the future. The digital revolution has been troubling for the newspaper industry. Newspapers have existed for quiet a long time, but now the Internet has also been taking over their work. By having special websites offering subscriptions for viewing the daily news, the newspaper's usage has declined. We are able to follow up on fresh information by accessing the Internet in a click of a button. Although there are many advantages of newspapers, but they are still impossible to update if any mistake in disseminating a news has already been printed out and sent to society. Since we are not sure of what the future holds we still cannot be sure if they will still exist in the future or not, especially when many people are used to their usage. The Internet now provides a constant, ever-changing source of information and entertainment for everyone! 

The Digital Future Of Books.

Ibook On Ipad

Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Inc, intoducing the new application on ipad called the ibook, and explaining how it is used and how simple it could be be to download ebooks right on our ipad. He also discusses the advantages of the innovation. The "book shelf" in the application organizes and shows the books downloaded. By a direct click on the book we can sit, read and tap on the screen to flip the pages. The font can be also edited for people that have difficulties with printed books that have small fonts. It is certainly a great online bookstore, and the advantages of ebooks seem to exceed the disadvantages of it in one way or another. With a tap we are able to save time and power of actually driving to a book store to buy a book.  For many people they still prefer the use of traditional books because they require no batteries or power supply, no complex software, and no period of waiting until a machine warms up. In my opinion i think this is a great technology, but im still not sure if traditional books will cease to exist in the future.

The Doctors TV show & How Useful It Could Be

The Doctors Tv show is one of my best TV programs and i certainly think it is a very advanced way of communicating about medical issues with large audience. The medical team use their knowledge and years of experience to educate viewers and provide valuable resources.Certain experiments and activities  usually encourages the audience to follow up with every episode of the show. It unfortunately helps, and provides us with medical information that we used to lack in the past.  This show really helps people and provides awareness to certain medical issues we may not have realized. It can be symptoms or any other medical problems we may need to pay attention to. I advise my colleagues at university to always follow this show because it could be very helpful for their own knowledge.

Her milkshake will bring all the boys to the yard!

World's Famous Milkshake Bar Opening In The Dubai Mall In Association With Emirates Hospitality.

Kim Kardashian, famous with her US reality TV show, will be introducing the grand opening of "Millions Of Milkshakes" this 14th October 2011 in Dubai Mall. Millions of Milkshakes is the most famous family milkshake bar in the states, and unfortunately this will be the first franchise opening outside the states. What brought my attention is how smart it could be to get the most attractive of them all,Kim, to be the one responsible for the grand opening. I guarantee that Dubai Mall will be completely crowded at this day with guys wanting to taste the milkshake from Kim's own hands, and i am sure of the great success that will come ahead of this brilliant idea of the opening.

"I am excited to be working with millions of milkshakes and Emirates Hospitality to launch my very own signature in the Middle East and i can't wait to introduce it to my fans in the U.A.E". says US reality TV star Kim Kardashian.

Blackberry & Its Effects On People( Hilarious Video!!)

This video really made my day!. It completely demonstrates how most of the people here in dubai are affected by the use of blackberry. This technology has a lot of affects on individuals and the society in many good ways and bad ways. It could be very benefecial for job matters, but as we said everything in life has its pros and cons. Blackberry has made almost everyone loose their concentration and focus on texting, especially when they are new users of this smartphone, they become extremely addicted to it. It is addictive, disruptive, and triggers anxiety  but eventually its fun to chat with friends all the time, but remember keep the limits!.

Deceptive Ads Are Annoying !

This is a full version video of a makeup brand called Maybelline. Many females are aware of this brand and commercial, as well as the purpose of it. It basically targets a special segment in society, which are females, about the new "Maybelline Mascara". What brings my attention is that this commercial is extremely deceptive in many ways and another. I mean the deception begins by bringing a model that is extremely beautiful, and therefore making us beleive we could look like her oneday by pursuading us to buy this useless mascara!. It's ridiculous because the eyelashes are unbeleivably fake!. I just dislike the idea how they try mislead us women by persuading us to buy cosmetics that give 30% result of what the advertisment really shows, and placing hot models to convince us we may have their looks oneday. It really raises ethical issues as well as comments of how deceptive some ad's can be most of the time!.
