It's fascinating how not to long ago; we, as a community, used each other as sources for information and transferring information around the globe whether it be by telephone, television or face-to-face. Today, internet is our key source to distributing information and setting up a basis  of information about ourselves. We do this to either get jobs, reach out to friends, share information or so much more. There are just so many possibilities; it is difficult not to access all kinds of information which is accessible to the technological world. Facebook is a huge tool which is accessible to friends and family-alike. It is more limited then Twitter but sometimes we need that sense of safety to protect our identity from other unwanted people. Sometimes, these tools can be useful to get ideas from outside sources of lesson plans or get advice from people of all different styles of any particular field of work. A perfect quote from David Warlick's article is, "Technology has inspired a shift from hunting-and-gathering information economy to the domestication of the information landscape".


Q1:What was our first source that helped us to reach out and share information with others?

A1: Our first source of spreading information was communication from person to person. As time went on it shifted to mail then to telephone and then television. Finally, the computer and other similar technologies have helped us to spread information.

Q2: What’s a great way to share information and how may sharing this information help us?

A2: We can share information through Twitter, Facebook, Blogs and etc. This helps us to establish information to obtain jobs or information needed to help us progress.
