What is a Home Page?


This new technology is wonderful. We now can gather vast information in an easier way. All one has to do is point and click on words or objectss on a home page and within a few second the information appears right in front of our faces.

A home page is a sturcture done by an individual, organization or company. It contains information about different subjects. For instance, one can find information about Education, Entertainment, Sports, Travel and many more subjects. These information can be useful to the user.

There are many purposes for a Home Page. For example, an individual can give input about themseleves, an organization can state their prupose and a company can sell their products.

I've seen many personal homepages on the net. Some people like to add their pictures, hobbies and favorite activities. As an example my friend Kamal did this. Although I've know him for a couple of years now I never knew that he was such na wonderful artist and writer. I only found this out when I looked into his home page. Kamal included links to his poems and drawings on his home page. I thought that this was a great way for Kamal to showw off his talents.

Besides personal homepages, organizations such asHuman Resources Organization also give information, but this time its not personal information. They usually state there purpose. For instance the Human Resources Organization was created by a grounp of people in the University of Arizona and they state that they supprot the missions of the variour human resources functions that happens at the university.

Lastly, companies with home pages tries to sell their products. I was amazed to see that Yick Lung had a home apge. Yick Lung is a famous company in Hawaii, now that they have a home page they can become famous anywhere around the world.

Overall, a home page is a great way to make a connection with other people. When a person explores a home page done by another person he has made a connection with the host because he is experiencing the thoughts and feelings of the creator of the certain home page.

Why are people so involve with it?


People are so involved in a home page because of different reasons. Some people like it because of the vast information or it's presentation.

This is the newest way for someone to look for information. We do not have to go to the library any more, instead we can type the subject on any one of the Search Engines and with in a few seconds we will have a list of home pages with the information that we wanted. most of the information provided by the host of the home page are usually benefitial to others. But there are some out there that does not help at all.

Besides looking for information users get caught up by the presentation of the home page. The images, colors and graphics on a home page can attract many people who find it appealing.

How am I involve with it?


I am very happy to be involved in this new technology! Through out my collge life I have never spent so much time in the computer room. I spend a lot of time there because I get carried away with the Internet. I'm at the computer room atleast four or more times a week. And on those days I try to add on links or images just to improve the looks of my homepage. But, this routine of mines will soon change. Since I am graduating, I will not be able to have this computer access any more.

If I do have some way of getting on the net I want up date my home page. I want to continue to work on it because I think it is essental to have a home page these days.

What Priciple of Home Page Would I Advocate?


There are many home pages that are good and bad. To me a good home page will load up within a short amount of time, have a nice background color, important information, and simple icons. A bad home page would be the exact opposite of the discriptions mentioned above. Actually I guess that I shouldn't say that it should contain important information because what I think is not important information might be important to some one else.

Here are some examples of what I think is a good home page.

What is the social significance?


This new society can now transfer information through cyberspace. People are free to choose what information they want. There is no conformity, people are not pressured into modifying their behaviors in responce to pressures from othes. They can connect or disconnect from a home page. Although there is no conformity, I believe that there is some kind of informational social influence. This is a type of social influence here a person changes his or her behavior in response to information provided by other poeple on cyberspace.

Personal expression?


I have noticed that many people with home pages gives out a lot of personal information about themselves. For examlple, Hiato Jiang's home page contains his address, phone number, and a picture of his child with his growth rate. I think giving out your home address (not you home page address) and telephone number is too personal.. What if there are some psychotic person out there looking for some trouble to cause. I think the only address that sould be on you home page should be your e-mail address.

Life style modeling?


Ever since I had a home page on the net I feel as though I am holding a continous open house. Thousand and thousands of people will be browsing through many home pages and most likely someone will come to mines. Well, I want the presentation of my home page to be appealing or should I say inviting. I feel as though I am the host and that I am responcible for guiding these guest around my home page. Therefore, I do not want my home page to be cluttered with icons or images. To me having too much icons and images is like have a house filled with rubbish. I want my home page to look clean and easy going.
