Communication has changed a lot

I'm blogging at the moment just minutes before the stroke of midnight. Tomorrow will be the 55th anniversary of independence in Malaysia. It will also be the 15th anniversary of TV3 started doing 24-hour broadcasting in 1997.

For me, my mindset has changed a lot since my 18th birthday. I started to think more like how adults do. I've started to realise that the world has changed a lot, especially for the type of communication that we use. I didn't really know a lot and use many of the communication devices except for telephone and the internet. I began to compare how people did 10 years ago and 10 years later, that is, 2002 and 2012 respectively, in my opinion.

What I think the things that have changed the most are mobile phones. 10 years ago, the Nokia-branded ones are popular. The screens are not in colour and have only three screen colours, green, light yellow and black. Mobile phones have contributed to the start of SMS services where users can send messages by using short-formed words. Users can compose ringtones on their mobile phone by referring to magazines where they list out popular songs of the time. 10 years later, mobile phone users later use more state-of-the-art touch screen mobile phones. They are called smart phones. Many smart phones are sold nowadays, such as Apple iPhone, Samsung Galaxy and HTC. Smart phones have many useful apps that we can purchase from app stores.

10 years ago, people can exchange their messages of people far away with e-mails. Sending letters was still relevant for those who do not have internet access. 10 years later, people connect each other with Facebook and Twitter.

Blogging is still relevant too, even after 10 years because of rapid development of blogging. There are many more people who start to blog about things happening around them. Bloggers can also integrate with social media sites.

In conclusion, the many communication devices helped people to express their feelings. I need to know more about these things to avoid being left out. I don't want to miss anything about it.

To conclude this blogpost, I would like to say Selamat Hari Merdeka ke-55. 

More blogposts sooon!
