When i begun the Internet Cultures module we were shown the video below. It was an important introduction about what we are going to see and do. At that time, the other students posted immediately this video. I waited until today.
I can say that today i am more experienced than that day. I understand much more the role of the web 2.0 and what people can achieve through it. I think the video shows to a great extent how the web works and where its limits are. The title of the video is very smart : The machine is Us/ing Us .
Is the machine Us or is Using us? I leave this down to you
Lots of people have created communities in Facebook declaring they hate new Facebook and they demand to switch again back to the old one. I can say i agree with them since i have significantly reduced the time i spend in there comparing to the old Facebook. The template new Facebook is based on is not as handy as the previous one was. I don’t find the same joy as before. Only through playing some games i find myself spending time in there more than an hour. Otherwise i might just sign in, see whether there are any updates or messages and next log out. I don’t think so that old Facebook will come back, neither as a choice like many people have suggested. Human nature can adapt to any environment and this is going to happen in our case. New users that haven’t tried old facebook will not complaint, old users will find how to overcome technical difficulties they might face and just life will keep going on.
