TASK OPTION Other chat options
For this task I have chosen Google Talk for the main reason that I have it installed already on my system and I am extremely reluctant to keep downloading more programs that will not be used again after this module.
Record your outcome and reflections of your experiences and thoughts on this task in your learning log;
To be totally honest my reflections on this tasks are not positive. I'm sick of downloading countless software programs that all do the same thing. Each requires a user name and password and I'm sick of trying to remember them all.
My thoughts are that too many people chat about nothing meaningful and end up wasting huge amounts of time doing so.
If you don't have anything meaningful to say why bother.
Fundamentally the chat programs undertake the same thing - chatting. The most defining factor to set any one program apart is presentation. The overall appearance of the screen and layout for various functions.
After chatting with some fellow students I must admit that I find it somewhat reassuring to know that I am not alone in finding the time for uni work and my concerns about the 'junk' software we are required to download. Solidarity in numbers perhaps.
In summary to quote a fellow student Antony Cave via Skype;
"So I think its safe to say, with chats it depends where your friends are, which defines what you use and from there it's how well it works or suits what you're doing. Basically they're all very similar."
