Changes due to the Internet

Gone are the days

When students like me struggled to obtain details on countries, history, and so on for assignments

The Voice Paris assignment for my French high school class is an example

I needed details on the important places in Paris for the assignment

I had much difficulty finding the needed material

I did a lot to obtain what I needed – I went to library, asked my parents for assistance

My parents came through

I managed to prepare an adequate assignment

These days

There is the internet with websites such as the Google search website

A simple search such as ‘Paris experience’ provides lots of information for assignments such as Voice Paris

The user is connected with way more than needed

There is information on French hotels, flights to France, reviews by tourists, French culture and I could go on and on

It can be viewed as an information overload.

Did you see my previous post on the Voice Paris assignment? View it here: https://fahmeenaodetta.blogspot.com/2022/10/french-paris_18.html.

I recall that someone asked me for assistance with an information technology (IT) project on how technology changed (or is changing) the society five years ago.

FEATURED

I am working to be published.

I completed 11 signature assignments – significant papers with original ideas. In one paper, I foresaw specific problems at a major company. In another, I designed a study (with statistical analyses) to explain why videos do not significantly enhance or improve online reviews. I worked alone. My signature assignments available at: https://fahmeenaodettasignaturepapers.tumblr.com.

About THIS BLOG

I created this blog to capture my thoughts and ideas and to practice writing. Why practice writing? I was on a break from my PhD and not writing much. I needed to continue writing regularly – I wrote and submitted weekly assignments/papers.
I also track my mental health using this blog.

I am currently working on publishing my papers in academic journals. Click the ‘paperforpublishing’ tag in the tags section below for my last status update. My main area of specialization is usability/user experience. Click on the ‘usability’ tag to view my posts, including ideas, on usability. If you are here for information on my success research, click on the ‘success’ tag. If you are here for information on my hometown, click on the ‘lindenguyana’ tag.
