If Facebook and Google maps had babies?

Things in technology have been converted to make brand new again like remediation of a topic or idea. In some cases remediation is the exact thing to make a social networking program. Facebook is a social network of people you know and way to community and Google Maps is a big A-Z of addresses and buildings. Foursquare is the reproduce effect, which provides your GPS location and be able to tell your friends.

 Jay Bolter is the author of Writing Space book about remediation and digitisation “interesting distinctions to be made between immediacy and hypermediacy.” The evolution of media, like Apple Mac iPod recreation you see the change of media in the past 5 years. From first iMac, iPod nano, iPhone and iPad.

Something new will always come out of something old.

Mark Zuckerburg is an asshole!!! The Social Network

The point of Facebook, Myspace, AIM, AOL Talk, BBM, iChat and all these other social network, is to basically make people socialize through the web. Making a profile of yourself, having specfic topics to talk about. The dangerous thing is that is not just friendly and cheap but it does affect and target a lot of people to do bad.

The Pros and Cons of Social Networking

This weekend I just watched the movie The Social Network which is based on the book by Ben Mezrich The Accidental Millionaires. Basically about the social networking development by the creators who made Facebook which is the main way of communication in 2010. Through the film the actor who played Mark Zuckerburg was a pretentious asshole, but as his lawyer 
"Your not an asshole, you just try so hard to be one."

So... even the inventor of Facebook created a whole new identity, or elaborated on his own. The false information, or identity some people create on social networks can be fatle to a being. But we cannot stop people telling things about themselves, but its just to use it in discression and have wisdom.
The younger generation have grown up interacting on the web, it becasue harder to socialise face-to-face. Like my cousin, only has friends on his Xbox Warcraft game and when we are together if he starts a conversation he will begin with "Xbox"or "Playstation". Even though the means of communicating has become cheaper, faster and easier it has stop the way to physical interact. People have become anti-social.

Social networking has affected people professional lives.Things that you do in your own time might affect your work, like current or future employeers seeing you page, blogs and questioning your ability, because you where intoxicated in Malia.

Network societies have its ups and downs. Jan van Dijk wrote the social networked book in 1999, he defines it as 'a society in which a combination of social and media networks shapes its prime mode of organization' (individual societal). Groups are formed'.
This does not mean it's good. I really can't bad mouth networks because I live it in myself. Having different Facebook accounts with private settings for family and friends witholding information. I don't want to be in trouble and trouble shouldn't follow me.

Rules are there to be broken but not for social status but safety. Mark Zuckerburg created a lot of bad conversations about Relationship status, to the CafeWorld, but the great thing is that technology is evolving into brighter ways. It just trying to find that balance of Asshole and Angel.

What would we do without BBM?

In the stone ages, people would communicate through drawings. In the present age (even through this digital age) tribes in Africa would dance and play drums. But, hey we are in the digital world where I will only communicate through my Blackberry Messenger alias BBM. Once upon a time I would say "I will talk to you on Aol" but every three years there is a new way or multiple ways to communication. It went from Aol chat, to webchat, to Msn Messenger, then to Yahoo, but these programs where limited to the computer screens. This guy is my Dawg! Mike Lazaridis the founder of Blackberry, which is the first invention of the smart phone has taken over the British economy; because 70 million Brits have one. At the University of Bedfordshire of which I attend, it is no longer about asking for a girls number, it is about her BBM! There is no offline or unavailable button but a PING! Everytime I am asked for my number I start to tell people I have a Nokia or on Orange. I was in America for two months and my BBM didn't work, I wanted to cry. Every chance I got to use someone elses I begged for it. I had to go to the prehistoric ages and communicate through MSN or Skype (keeping it old school.) Blackberry Messenger has become a way of life and apart of the Digital Communication, without having a fancy job. I simply have no excuse to miss my homework deadline, without this 19" screen laptop but just my 3" screen AriBlackBari (that's what I call it). I just pinged my mum to tell her I am going to wash the dishes! Oooh got a PING! she said 'NOW!'
