NEW MEDIA TOMORROW


People’s obsession for tomorrow can be well defined through the usage of good-night implying that a new dawn will embrace them once they wake up from the sleep. How much of the good-nights are wished face to face? Let’s not take into consideration the friends and relatives staying miles away. Even the people staying in the same house text one another or have the internal line to say good night instead of wishing personally. This is one scenario where the new media comes into play. If this is a simple case of media today, then it is definitely a question to be pondered over by everyone, how will the new media look like?

From the time immemorial, communication has always been an integral part of survival. All forms of life speak its own language. Dogs bark, cat’s meow, donkeys braw, snake hiss and so on; human beings are therefore not an exception. Be it being the language spoken through signs, symbols, pictures/drawings, communication has influenced the entire civilization. With evolution in time, the way we mediate has changed its course and dialogue but still we do the talking. Technology has revolutionized the communication theory. Not even a single thing of the history has been spared by technology. We all can talk about the benefits and convenience of technology but very few can analyze the world into which we are being directed. At this stance of paced living, the media that will be adopted by people in the new tomorrow comes into the picture.

The interactive media will be as much a threat to newspapers as to television stations. While the basics of newspaper and magazine publishing have changed little, television has moved from black and white to color, from a single delivery system to multiple systems, and from inactive to increasingly interactive systems. Radio and newspapers have survived, although perhaps less profitably than the television. Television has turned the clock of the hour. Mobile and real news are more exciting than the written and pictured news and so the newspapers lose to TV. Radio has lost its sensibility long ago when the image of the news reader and singers sang song personally on the TV screen. Now we are accepting the raging influence of satellites and optic fibers.

Miniaturization and durability will be the new tomorrow. In the process of minimizing, the society will be bundled up in the wires. A wired world will succeed the modern world. A look around ourselves, we will find ourselves half knitted in colorful wires in the name of close communication. Major components of this group include cellular telephones, facsimile machines, and electronic mail systems. The so- called wired grid is in place. Not only are the computers talking to computers, but humans are communicating with computers and one another through an interconnected network of telephone, electronic mail and cable television systems. Information flowing through that network, moreover, is readily entered in spoken and written as well as keyed form, and the system will be able to respond to inquiries in any of those formats. The fate of this communication in the mere tomorrow will be translated as: not only the humans will be talking and listening to the computer; they will also be arguing and negotiating with it. Scores of Beautiful faces will be supplanted by a single screen and long wires. This holds true for the people of the whole world irrespective of age, color or creed.

Humans desire to communicate with every other creature will be fulfilled with the introduction of robotic animals. Robots add up to the new communicator of the tomorrow’s world. Though it may serve as a helper, but they will be the ones who listen to our words and our orders. It is strange yet appealing that the communication tomorrow will be between the pet animals and the master in a language made known to both. It will be no longer a fantasy for the children to ponder why dogs bark?

Demographically, by lifestyle, and in terms of need and desire for information, audiences are continually changing. Variables at work in each of these categories directly or indirectly influence the productivity of the communication process. As such, they demand continuing attention of every communicator in their own way. Audiences that communicators seek to influence today bear little resemblance to those of yesterday. As such, differences of similar or greater magnitude will also develop between today's audiences and tomorrow's. We can only visualize the coming tomorrow but we cannot think of communicating with the new tomorrow.

It will be new as it is not the present! It is the new tomorrow!

U R REMEMBERED MORE TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 I felt cold and i huddled in your warmth. you stroked my long black hair and whispered, Baby! i wont let you freeze....
 it is the moment that i clanged on forever.
you may not have talked the talk but definitely walked the walk on my path. 
Your endless strength helps me to keep on going though i frail and fall at times
 but i never fail to look into your eyes and say: i am proud for you...and you can keep the stare even i collapse to hold it.
coz i know you will strive in my effort.
you are the one inspiration that rekindles my whole aspiration.
i remember you in times of laughter and joy wishing you were with me....
you are omniscient in my sorrows and pain, soothing the broken tears to flow the pain away...
you light up my world when i have grown dark and grouchy...
i care for you.... coz you cared for me... my mama n daddy both resides in you...
it maybe a mimic if i say i can hear your pain... but the fact is, i never cared to hear your pain coz you never spoke about it.
why has your life destined to be so roughened to smoothed my living....
when you draw me close in your arms... i can hear you breathing,...
a deep breath that takes my breath away....
you kiss away my every pain... its unfathomable how you can cry so deep for me...
little do i understand my staggering steps... when i hear your firm footsteps...
you sheltered my life... and i owe it all to you...
i may have never uttered a word before you..
 but daddy
you mean the world to me...

P.S. ...old as i am, i still remember my daddy everytime..

IMPRESSION.... in ur face...

IT IMPRESSED THE EXPRESSION....

AND IT EXPRESSED THE IMPRESSION....

SO IT EXPRESSED TO IMPRESSS....

STRAIGHT IN YOUR FACE!!!!!!!!!!!

WISH..... I can time back the time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sighhhhhh

I badly need to rewrite my exam papers again. I have never felt so bad about my papers before. Partly because I wrote it so badly, as bad as the papers that was so white and ghastly. I remembered I thanked lord for the familiar questions but I forgot to ask him for a little more memory to answer those questions. So, likely, I ran out of my so called common sense. It taught me the most common lesson that took years to embed in my head- COMMON SENSE IS NOT SO COMMON!

1st day of my final exam….

9am-11am: Business English... gosh, I was so damn nervous when I headed towards the door to be seated. But as always English is like the slipping sand… so smooth and yet so stagnant… I wish every exam was English…. I had to write 1 cover letter, one letter of complaint, 2 documents and few active& passive sentences….

12pm- 2pm: Basic French 1… lol, I was anticipating the toughest of my time but luckily I think I managed to seep through it. As it was very basic, all the grammar was included and also I had to describe a picture which was as bad as… anything you can think of. Yeah, I even had to write something about me in French in not less than 50 words but I knew about it beforehand… so I wrote…

Salut! Je m’appelle Tashi. Je habite a’ Selangor en Malaisie. Je suis étudiante de la fac Taylor. Mes parents s’appellent tashi sandup et tashi dolma. Mon père’ est gentilé et sympa. Il a 50 ans. Il est chef de famille. Ma mère’ est belle est jolie. J’ai deux faires. Ils s’appellent Otzer et Chakdor. Ils sont étudient aussi en Inde. Moi, indienne et j’habite aves mes famille. J’aime beaucoup la musiqué, la lecture et la danse. Je parle anglais, ‘indienne et français. Je n’ai pas étudient.

A’ bientôt.....

3pm- 5pm : Food science and sanitation 2... the paper came out as expected. It was fairly easy despite my bad feeling. It’s all about HACCP- hazard analysis and critical control point. I think by now, I have developed a strong detest against HACCP. Who cares about sanitation if not for the health commission… (gosh it killed me to sit in the class so like I do, I always sneak onto novels…. Great attention… )

2nd day of my exam….

9-11am: principles of economics… gosh I hated to study economics but trust me, the paper was exactly the same the lecturer displayed as a sample. Gosh, if only I had paid a heed to him at that moment. But no regrets… coz I am not that unhappy with how it went.

12-2pm: Customer relation and sales…. Here comes the whale of the sea. Dammit, I am feeling so bad that my paper looked like a piece of abandoned shit. Even though I knew all the answers somehow I couldn’t relate my answers to the questions. Miss Suzanne gave us the tips beforehand. She even told us about the case study on the recent Thailand riots but I expected it to like the one which showed as the sample. Damn, it was so lot different. She gave only figures in the case study and expects us to relate personal equation to it. Oh lord! How can I possibly relate good grooming to dropping sales figure? Either I was mad enough not to grasp anything or it was beyond my understanding capacity. I am sunken in deep shit now. There goes my mood and my motivation to write anything further. …I hate to think about it... ARGHHHHHHHHHHHH

3PM-5PM: Elements of Budgeting and cost accounting… the more glam and great the subject sounds the uglier and degrading it is. I do not mean to sound so bad but I can’t help it. Though the paper was pretty ok, I failed to deliver it as prettily as it looked. I left void spaces in the first section and again in the calculation section. I knew the theory and the method but I dunno how I missed out one simple step that cost me my entire marks. I didn’t realize my mistake even after submitting my paper. it was only when my friend asked me about it after one hour of the exam and then, my memory reversed as a shock to myself. I haven’t felt so bad before. I lost my entire mood to party and have fun so I crawled into my bed at 6pm and slept till 5am. Gosh it’s nearly 12 hours round the clock.

I was obliged to wake up because of the commis service I have to render at 7:30am coz it was COMPULSORY. The basic idea behind it is to help the seniors in their final exam and also see for ourselves how the exams are being conducted. It looks pretty scary with 5 external examiners and 5-6 internal examiners. The restaurant was floating with examiners. I was restricted to the Bar service. It was simple- keep the bar clean and make coffee/ tea when requested. I made myself few cups of coffee. So I had my day…

But the day was not yet over… hehe coz I had to rush to the stewarding area to help with the cutleries and crockery’s. Oh my Gosh, I worked like a donkey…. My lecturer told me the same thing. At least it was noticed. I am glad. My commis work finished by 2pm. And so I am back with a dizzy head and drained energy.

The exam week was stressful but I never missed to watch at least one football match or watch a movie. Guess that infidelity paid me back in the form of blankness…

P.S. I wish I can rewind everything that I winded wrongly….

IMPRESSION.... express to impress....

The anticipation with the drops of perspiration beaded on thy brow lasted long enough to cool down the heat that radiated hot. It has been weeks of running in between the people and the papers that a sudden run along the aisle seem like an empty void. Thanks to the faces that supplanted the titles that finally I have heaved out my long and deep sigh of relief. 10th of June 2010 wouldn’t have made a deep IMPRESSION on my life if not for my short life as the vice-president of the forum.
Well, all the credit goes to Derrick who voted for me to run for the President seat. That came as a shocking surprise as I never thought anybody would see the president in me. I prayed for the wrong toss. Well, I was saved with one less vote than my President. So that’s how I was chosen to be the V.P. you got to do one thing in your life so I took it.  I judged fair when I chaired the first meeting followed by the second meeting that was really productive. The final meeting was all about getting the jobs done and settling the final decorum for the forum.  And so the forum was all set to get audience. 
IMPRESSION- express to impress… was all about your first impression!!! Guess, it is the key to all locks. Our speakers for the event were on fairly judgmental backgrounds.
A gentleman- Mr Murphy Lee (life planner) Great eastern insurance.--- Detailing from the first eye contact till the last firm handshake…
Ms. Suzanne Lee (lecturer, Sales and marketing), Taylors College…exclusively about the body language that reads out your entire personality…
Ms. Eva Koh (Hair stylist) Snips hair dressing saloon… the hair that suits the eye and the character you are wearing on yourself with live demo on hair makeup and face make up…. It was meant to be interesting…
The three speakers were the weight of the forum apart from our impressive stage presentation and venue. We had the biggest lecture hall that can accommodate more than 300 people. I admit I was real scared and in complete paradox about the emptiness of the hall. But I was proved wrong. Thanks to our 3 days of continued advertisement and mutual agreement between the other groups. 
At the end of the day, it is the effort that counts to be a success, though numbers are still doing the counting. It was a pleasure to share the space with our mentor, Ms Vivian. I solely appreciate the co-operation of my entire group esp. my President, and the Deco team. It was a show worth ticketing. There may not be a red carpet laid down for the event but the two white canvass boards to crave out every individuals signature curbed the red carpet away. 
It is to be remembered by all the blue ribboned tags hanging down the neck of every committee members.

  We expressed and so we impressed!!!
