Today, I learnt about the different categories of information available on the internet. I gained knowledge on the different ways in which information is presented.( E.g Blog, Twitter, E-news, E-magazines, Discussion Forums etc)
The lab session has been beneficial and informative. The activity allowed me to explore and interact with information on the internet in a whole new perspective.

The research topic I chose: "Discuss the trends in music industry for teenagers." I chose this topic as I am a musician myself and personally need more information and background about the music industry as I have plans to make it big in the music industry in Singapore, IF possible. This topic helps me to understand how music is revolutionized and how many new genres came about.

Activity 2: Budget of $500.

I would spend $325 on this guitar effects pedal and save the rest of the money. I have read several reviews about this effects pedal and many of the comments were of good countenance. This pedal would eminently enhance the tone of my guitar providing solid distortion and rich harmonics. In essence, every note is clearly audible and thus brings about a whole and round sound.

Why spend so much on just one effects pedal?

The reason is simple. I am a musician and I am very concerned about the tone of my guitar. I love to experiment with different sounds. Simply put, I'm very passionate about my hobby.

I'm a self-taught musician.I play the electric and acoustic guitar.I do teach/offer guitar lessons at affordable rates.I picked up the guitar in 2005 and have been playing till now. I aspire or dream to be a successful musician not for commercial profits but to enjoy what I do best - playing music. Albeit a large target audience or in other words a large market, the demand for local music is very low thus chances of profits yielded from Singapore would be very slim.I enjoy TV series preferably comedy like Chuck or Friends.
