1. To search for narrative paradigm of communication on the Internet I used two sites. For both searches I use the keywords: narrative paradigm. The first site I tried was www.askjeeves.com. This site proved not to be helpful in this particular search. It was not helpful because it did not have information about narrative paradigm of communication. Instead, the results were based on narrative paradigm in literature.
The second site I tried was www.lycos.com. Under the heading Web Sites I found the first result to be very useful. The address is: http://www.ic.arizona.edu/~comm300/mary/group/narr ativepara/sld001.htm. The site is apparently from Arizona University. The site is mainly an outline of a professors notes on the subject of narrative paradigm in the form of a slide show. I believe this is a good source because it is from a University and a professor.
There is nothing bias in the material and it is all facts. As I mentioned before this site is mainly an outline of a professors notes on the subject of narrative paradigm. The information is presented in the form of slides. Each slide dealing with a new topic of narrative paradigm. The first slide taught me about people as homo-narrans. Basically meaning that people experience life as a series of narratives with beginning, middles, and endings. The third slide gives the meaning of narrative paradigm.
The author defines it as a structure that provides us with a comprehensive explanation of symbolic meaning. I learned on the fourth slide that no type of communication is purely descriptive or didactic. Each form overlaps with the other. The fifth slide shows the difference between rational world paradigms and narrative paradigms. Each slide deals with narrative paradigms in one way or another. I believe this is a good way to learn the information solidly.

This has brought a number of demonstrable benefits to the scholarly communication process as well as highlighting a number of inefficiencies and obstacles to the full deployment of information technology. However, the explosion has also brought a spate of credulous accounts concerning the ...
2. I looked up www.sonicnet.com. This site deals with the music industry. It offers news articles, reviews of music, video directory, downloads, contests, and much more. Any type of genre you are looking for is listed and there is easy access to the music of each genre. The site takes advantage of the many technological advances.
First one is able to download music right off the Internet, which is relatively new. Second the site features streaming audio (radio) which has just been introduced in the last two or three years. A person is able to listen to the same radio station that someone else is listening too 3000 miles away. Also you can watch music videos of your favorite artist right on you computer screen. Personally my favorite part of this site is the news articles. No other site compares to sonicnet.com with the information it has based on the music industry. Lastly advertising commercials are featured in a little box.
This is not a new thing, however the commercial subject is. No longer do the commercials just deal with Internet sites or computer software. Now they deal with food, cars, and companies
