Internet Cultures - Exploring Topic Choices
We were briefed about our first assignment regarding the research blog on the first day of our class (1st November) by our tutor. So, I started off exploring from the topics which are appended below to accomplish this task which will be easier for me to finalize which topic I shall embark in due course.
Topic choices:
1. Investigate a major controversy that unfolded online. Discuss its relevance to creative
professionals.
2. Cyberspace is vital for protecting and spreading democracy. Explore this idea and
question its effectiveness.
3. How did mobile devices change the way people use the internet? Consider its consumer
impact and relate them to a specific creative industry/profession.
4. Compare and contrast how two different communities or social groups use a specific
social media platform. Which of the two groups has more to gain from it and why?
5. Malaysians are so uncreative that they cannot even make 'dank' memes. Argue for or
against the statement.
6. Identify a figure who is generally known to have played a major role on the internet.
Evaluate if his/her contributions are justified or mythologized.
After a session of mind boggling and soul searching, I have developed my desire to explore on these two topics as enumerated in items 3 and 6 above because it had caught my interest where I verily believe a plethora of issues could be advanced pertaining to the chosen topics for this uphill task.
Based on my knowledge and understanding of topic 3 which emphasizes on:
- How does mobile devices change the way people use the internet
- The impact of mobile devices towards consumers
- Its consumer impact towards a specific creative industry/profession
Topic 6 emphasizes on:
- personality who played a major role on the Internet world
- Whether his immense contributions are justified or mythologized
Therefore, for the next post I will be conducting my research on both these topics before finalizing on which topic essay I shall embark in due course.
