Wiki

Whilst i enjoy learning about new technology and have become shocked as to how fast and creative we have become in creating new and improved technology, it does not always mean that the new communication sites, search engines or even information sites have become user friendly or even easy to navigate. If the supposed 'technology learner generation' have difficulty at first in understanding how to use the new piece of technology tool that what happens to the older generation who are still getting used to the previous, and simple to use communication sites? would this just further create a 'communication gap' between parents and their children? whilst there are some disadvantages to the introduction of new sites, i have found that Wiki is one communication site that is user friendly, simple to use and easy to understand. Wiki is a form of communication between individuals about any topic where the people involved are able to express there opinions on enivironmental issues, world politics to even the smallest things such as tv shows. It allows people to freely express themselves within a reasonable manner and all the tools and skills needed to become a regular wiki user, are located right infront of the screen and are easy to locate. which in turn saves time, space and the stress of trying to nagivate through the web page, instead wiki takes you straight to the home page where you are able to work your way from there.
