My Second Week Reflection
First of all, in our second week lesson, we examined and interpreted the statistics about the development of the internet and internet usage.The statistics were about; What did people search on google, youtube etc? and then we talked about the reasons for searching for them again. If I remember correctly, most statistics included people between the ages of 16-64. We also talked about a lot of things like which social media network people use more. Afterwards, we examined a statistics about the development of the internet over the years and Gökhan Hoca gave information that the internet was used by government before and it was used for military purposes. In the past, people could not access information so easily. As before, we don't need to access information only from newspapers, now we can find the information by searching the internet, and we have the right to question the accuracy of the information. And lastly, during the lesson, we talked about the applications made to improve our English because our department is english and also Gökhan teacher learned which applications we use by asking us. I would also like to say that youtube is a place where people go for entertainment rather than information. Because when we look at the most searched subjects in the course, Enes Batur's name was in the first place and such videos are not for learning. The last thing that caught my attention was that news sites like Hürriyet Sözcü were at the top of the things people searched for on google, and now people get this kind of information from the internet, not from newspapers. Lastly in statistics, we have seen that visual inventions such as VR glasses are used less frequently. About this situation, Gökhan teacher said that this rate may increase by %30-%40 in 10 years.
