The beginning of the semester 2014

How fast time flies still surprises me, 21st of July came and era of the new semester begins.

I’m both worried and excited about this media and journalism strand.  Excited because I know I will be learning new things and worried because the overview of this semester seems heavy.

Adrian, my lecturer, explain a few things in his lecture such as learning Tacit knowledge as well learning explicit knowledge. Where he explains that tacit knowledge is not something easily taught rather the way I understood it is the more you it and the more you practice, the more you are knowledgeable. Areas you could put as tacit knowledge is music and sports and arts, those area are not easily taught theoretically it is  but practically… not as much. On the other hand explicit knowledge is the opposite to tacit. Another thing that Adrian mention in his lecture is how relation between parts is much more important than the individual part itself, now I find this ides is fascinating because first it is certainly explained the idea of networked media, why? because by network/networking means that you connect to other things ranging from people, things, issues, and other possibilities. I guess the easiest examples to this ‘quote’ is parts of movie. As I learn in my previous course, editing media text as well in debates and approaches, was that human is active being that continuously create meanings and that is implied into movies making how two individual part of a movie or scene could create a story and meaning. I mean I was totally blown by this logic, previously I didn’t give this idea much thought but having to know it now, it just changes my whole perspective. My first week reading which is about blog was particularly interesting and talked about ‘blogs and blogging’ more deeper.

Although I don’t know much about blogging, I’m looking forward to it.  Since I spent a lot of times in front of the computer the thought of doing more stuff on the net seems fun.

I hope that once I’m finish with this blogging, I can make awesome blog like The Food Society!  (Sorry if I didn’t do the linking correctly) Their blog is very nice and filled with important news on food.
