My experience of using the world wide web is that hypertext is placed all over the internet. From going on a website whatever its contents you will see hyoertexts to other companies, other mentioned people for e.g. it either being an advertisement or artist.
It seems apparent that any successfull world wide web (site) depends on other advertisements, thier advertisements so the website will continue to draw an audience in.

2nd week: (Q. i)
(Page 40) " Placing authorship in the hands of the reader or consumer (Landow 1992) "
There is and isnt a form of ideal interactivity. It is down to "Our varied interpretations and responses" (Page 43) to our engagement as to whether it is ideal. Ideal interactivity can come in many forms: Games sites, fan sites, music, clothes, shopping or art. The list is endless.

2nd week: (Q. H)
There are sites such as photo sites which allow artists or individuals who are interested in photography to be the producer of a smaller form of mass media. To make artwork more accessible etc.
Peoples blogs allow people to be involved in cultural production, whether it shows thier life as a whole or just a part of it maybe concerning topics or one interest but not disclose other information.
It is at the individuals peril as to what is said about thier chosen topi. Even though it can seem democratic that one person is still in charge of what is said, distributed, therefore it is a mimi form of mass media. You can individually charecterise.

2nd week: (Q. G)
Non - linear when things arent in order. You'l visit a website and flit form one topic to another especially if theres a link half way through a paragraph etc. You can also go on a website from a link and it wont be the homepage (starting point) where you'd be accessing the information from.
Non linear and non sequential reading does capture the web as from what I said before you go to other sites "possible pathways" (page 27) when looking at a website.

2nd week: (Q. F)
(Page 21) "The immensed user will include the visual and sensory pleasures of spatial exploration."
"Representational qualities of the media text are different"
I gather the understanding that if you have a game and something like encarta encyclopedia they are from the same format even though the context is different. We could apply this to any technological format, being games, to music programmes, to any consoles, websites online magazines and online games.

2nd week: (Q. E)
It would be different that if you made a mistake its hard to adjust or even hand in regarding sufficent essay rules and criteria. Being processed on the computer it is easy to ammend it, punctuation and spelling. It is also less time consuming than writing up. It will also be alot more eligible for you and the reader to read and comment on.
2nd week: (Q. D)
Some types of media can be changed from analogue to digital such as films. "Electronic conversion and transmission (boradcast) of media like film, which are physical analogues...do not represent a complete break with traditional analogue media." (Page 15)
Its the physical that stops something from being undigitalised.
E.g. Handwriting in letters, to a word processed letter obviously holds commonolity but just showing different formats. An email doesnt represent a hadnwritten letter well. You can edit your taste but not to your true personal style. Theres a digital and real style.

2nd week: (Q. C)
New Media is a source of progress as products are being made to suit the needs of a customer. It is there to ensure great accessibility, entertainment, increase social aspects, whatever the product is of the new media, it is usually just a progression of technology.
It is the products we need to help us along the way of our over worked lives or whatever situation you are in. New media is adapted and even the extreme of new media can still be seen as an "Ideology of progress".
Science is all down to progress, finding cures etc. All types of media has been progressed because its the ongoing future being pushed to its fullest. If its doable or able to make then why not let it progress.

2nd week: (Q .B)
It could be said that it is all about funding the Capitalist society but as technology is ever changing we need to keep up with certain aspects of new media. There are some new technologies that aren't a neccessity but it does improve certain products....
For e.g. I-pods, you can still get CD's, you dont need an i-pod but its upto personal preference. An
I-pod is easier to carry around etc but it does cost money and newer versions are frequently coming out from this brand being Apple.
Which does make you question is it somewhat connected to Capitalism. The ideology of having the most recent product does engroce individuals.

2nd week: (Q. A)
Page 11. New media, lister et al, 2003
"Powerful ideological movement and a narrative about progress in Western society."
Such as businesses like Microsoft who renew programmes to update but sometimes can be seen as increasing intake of money. As new programmes are around £60 - £100 to install. It isn't all based on making money as you can see an improvementwith programmes such as Windows.
Page 2.
"Practice of upgrading, the computer itself becomes a technology in flux, rather than a more finally achieved and stable piece of technology."
Upgrading media can and usually is making any technology easily accessible, easier to use and generally keeping up with other new technologies that mix with it.

Websites are sites which you will always hit because there would of been one when you first logged onto the internet. The charecteristics of sites differ from site to site. As many will be of informative, educational or entertainment purposes. Or they'l be of recreational purpose as to what your interest is i.e. being fan culture or social networking sites.
Each website starts off with a homepage which will lead of to other sections of what the purpose of the site is for.
Other strong charecteristics would be advertisements, links to other sites or if more independent such as an artists site it will mainly be selling themselves more than anything else.
Therefore content will differ and websites have improved and become alot more user friendly when loading uo the page etc.
Each website from personal experience is in different in

MUD's & MOO's...
Forums which are set up for gamers.
It is based upon a text, and heavy use of graphics in an imaginary environment.
Specifically online gaming, such as Warcraft, this is a good example of interaction with a game but also other people aswell. Individuals will be contesting one another in order to gain more magical powers and possesions. One of the most addictive games out there on the market.
I dont have any personal experience with any games to be played online, therefore I only know from what ive seen on the internet and talking with others about the topic.

Week 1 work tad late sorry... (Topic 1) (email & email list)
Email and email list...
Charecteristics of email and email lists such as MSN are giving people the freedom to send singular or group emails. Other aspects are you are able to send attachments, files, photos, documents and links to other websites etc. Emails are even used to send documents such as CV's to job applications. This shows how different and somewhat extrodinary for this to occur. I use MSN recieve emails and from family or recieve mail about for e.g. notifications of purchases on the itnernet.
Facebook also has a system for creating messages to go to others in your address book. Other aspects and charecteristics are being able to create event groups for e.g. birthdays or any sort of appreciation group.
Personal experience of Facebook would be using it to keep in touch with friends. Emails are less limited on this site as to what you can put in them. They dont have the same charecteristerics such as attachments type of font or size or smiley face images.
Other email sources are the university microsoft outlook i wouldnt personally use this myself. I only use it to send and recieve messages concerning tutors etc.
