Two face of internet.

Since internet has been used all over the world, many thing has been changed.
I think most of them is good way, but like everything has two sides, there is also a bad thing happened.


In the speech of Doris Lessing()I felt that I am reading the artice of 70s or 80s. when there was discussion of TV's two sided effects. I think it is similar to that.
I understand her speech and why she said that(I think..). But I think her idea is not good because there are many good effects of internet too.


Like Andrew Keen said internet is maybe full of amatuers and their posting can't be right but people believes it. but in another way, readers are amatures too. they can learn or see thins about their view.



I agree with the opinion that internet is a big threat to printed media such as books and news paper. As a novelist, Doris might have felt that too. But is not 100% true. Internet sometimes helps writers. like advertisting in internet and help writer communicate with readers. Once, when I was in Korea, I saw an interview about famous writer in Korea. He said he knows that internet can be threat to publishing industry. bur in the other hand, it helps him to communicate with the readers. He is about 60, and he decided to write his next novel on the internet, on his blog. so he can communicate with readers fast.


Like him, experts use internet a lot too. and not like the old days, sometimes amatures ideas are more creative and trustworthy than experts one. for example, like wikipedia()There are so many things include some new words that we use on the internet. In that case, internet users are experts to that, not linguists, because they use it every day.




I'm not saying that theses two articles I read is totally wrong. In their view(novelist and expert), internet seems like their veiw and I understand. But I think they are amatures od Internet. so they don't know much about it and say those things. Experts always can be amatures in some feild. I think people should accept diversity and democratic and open character of internet.

The power of network,

The power of network is well-known and it gets stronger by the day.
It gets so stronger so, companies are no longer to ignore them.


There are many bloggers and internet users posting about product they use, or posting about their opinion about product/ company they purchase. Important thing is readers tend to believe their product experience or things like that more than company’s because they are in the same shoes. The consumer.


So companies are trying to make good reputation among consumers on internet by supporting best blogger or read many ideas and complain and reflect it. They consider about almost every complains and change service, advertisement. Not like old days, companied in 21C, even do the competition to have new ideas from customers. Companies these days are changing because of the network. They become more open, caring, good listener.

I think this is great aspect of network. Making communication between group and individual. It makes customers more powerful than old days and feels like they are more active to get their rights.

Facebook's change and reality mining.

Welcome to my blog again!
First, I'm not sure I got it right..But I’ll start anyway.
Two articles I read are both about the facebook which I'm not familiar with.

These days many people meet on on-line. Because of these modern people’s behavior patterns, many internet communities has been created and one of the most famous and popular thing in U.S now, is the Facebook. Like many other websites, face book is also making some changes. I like the idea about social graph, but some changes, I don’t think it’s really necessary. I don’t get what is good thing about connecting and communicate with celebrities, musicians, politicians and organizations. They can’t do it before?
Do celebrities, musicians, politicians and organizations write the post own their own? In this article, they said “You'll be able to keep up with all of their activity in your News Feed” so, I think it is just like an article in newspaper or magazine (except that you can write comments to them). Why facebook need this? And about the changes in home page, they said “The new home page will let you see everything that's shared by your friends and connections as it happen” Is this good thing to do? I think its little privacy problem. I know every change is not welcoming at first time but do facebook really need this change?

The second article I read is about Reality Mining and Facebook. Through this work, we can find out social network in communities and where disease started and so on. It’s really useful to find out where disease started and predict it but knowing social network and predict what they are going to do is little scary. It is good to have wide on-line community system and bring them to our lives, but sometimes, it can be risk to our privacy.I hope there are some regulations, so people can’t use it in negative way.


Thanks for reading.
Have a nice day!
