Cybersociety and Communication


Dear Ms Farah and all my fellow classmates,

In the very first day, DMS students are encouraged to open a Facebook, a Tweeter and a Blogspot account.I found this very interesting and when i went back home, i created MY OWN Facebook, Tweeter and Blogspot accounts. Yeah^^

What is Cybersociety and communication? From what i have found in the dictionary, "Cyber" means computer, electronic brain or electronic computer and "Society" means particular grouping of humanity with shared custom. When we combine these two words into Cybersociety, by my understanding,  i think it means a virtual space where a particular group of humanity who using the computer to share their interest or opinion.By the way, communication means what? when we talk about communication what would come out in your mind? Apart from what we have learned in Mass Comm or Human Comm, by using a very simple example...just like

A: Hey, man. How have you been?
B: Yo, I am fine, dude. What about you?

In this situation, A and B will continue their chit-chatting and hence the communication achieved. Therefore, for this subject, i think we will be more focus on how we interact with others by using the Internet such as MSN, Skype, Facebook,etc. Besides,  learning about the functions of cybersociety and the way of communication in cybersociety will also include in the syllabus.

Lastly, I believe through the guidance of Ms Farah, all DMS students will have a firm understanding of Cybersociety and Communication.

                                                                                                                             Yours sincerely,
