DO BACKUP!!!

I lost my phone the day before yesterday, on my way back home, which can be categorized as a smart phone according to Hilary's presentation on "Mobile Technologies and Public Relations."

As Hilary mentioned in the presentation, smart phone is more than the basic calling and messaging function. A smart phone is like a PDA, you can install some very useful software in it, for example, I have an very helpful English-Chinese dictionary, a notebook, a PDF reader, Quickoffice, which including Word, Execl and PPT. Now, whenever I pick up the phone trying to use these functions, I realized this phone is no longer that fancy phone I have cherished for four year, it is now just the cheapest one I could get from the shop. I know I haven't got used to it. Shoot!

And actually it is not only about how much money I wasted, it is also about all the contact numbers I lost. Double shoot! The worst thing is...I haven't backed up all these information, which is the thing really bother me, telling all my family members and friends my new number. Now I realize how important to backup information, Derek.

So, if you know me, please do me a favor of sending me your contact information so that I can re-enter it. I promise I'll back up my phone more regularly.

DO BACKUP, CLASSMATES, AS LONG AS YOU THINK THESE INFORMATION ARE IMPORTANT TO YOU!


Well, I know have to move on. I dedicated this posting to my lost NOKIA 6681

Welcome to Sherry's PR Fantasy

It seems that I have to say goodbye to old MySpace blog for a while. From now on, I have to concentrate on Blogger for the sake of marks :)

The creation of this blog is for the assessment of the module of Public Relations and Technology. And I am also intent to use this blog as an idea exchange platform for anyone who is interested in the impact of technology on both the theory and practice of public relations.

The rapid development of technology changed the definition of have and have-nots to some extent. If the old the division only focus on the wealth factor, the new definition of have and have-nots also represent the ownership of a new skill or knowledge. Well, I made the decision to stand by the “have” side because the understanding of cross-discipline module is extremely important for our future career. I will keep posting interesting topics on PR and technology, o.k., I know, Dr. Hodge, this is compulsory to complete this module.

Anyway, there are some fascinating ideas come to my mind, I have to google some information. I will see you soon.
