The top 5 videos


Good balance of images and information. Very fast paced at the beginning to keep you watching. The images showed how influential the internet is. Along with the information which gave two sides of the story about the internet.

Went straight to the point. Was a very good summary of the main topics about the internet. Also the soundtrack went with the topic and therefore helped with the understanding of the internet.

Set out very simple but explained very well. The problems of the net are discussed in depth.

Gave a quick overview of the internet so didn't waste time. Points were relevent and facts were included.

Was unique and different to all the other videos. This is because it gave a realistic view of the problems with the internet. And was quite interesting.

An internet user and television viewer

A television viewer is someone who consumes the media text with out posing questions about it. It is taken in passively. However internet users maybe more active and will produce media forms of their own. Known as user generated content. This means they play the role of the media consumer and producer. Therefore they may gain a better understanding of the media.

Also an internet user will become more experienced and familiar with the media meaning they will be aware with the connotations of a media product. A television viewer will be able to describe what is going on while an internet user maybe able to explain why certain codes and conventions are used.
