New World
Uncategorized September 1st, 2012The author of the book ” The Medium is the Massage” discuss how new communication technologies have changed society. People have more opportunities to express themselves and participate in a new environment, which become the medium to deliver their thoughts and ideas. At the same time, people become aware of what they think and the way they act, because they are not longer alone in this new technological world. On the other hand, even when society can benefit from different ways of communications, it also tend to compromise people’s privacy. I guess people have to determine whether is worth it or not to live in this new technological world.

I think sometimes when we are on the web we are more concerned with finding out with what everyone else is doing and lose focus of what we want for ourselves. The internet i believe has made us a nosier society, with websites like twitter and facebook, the entire cyber world knows what you are doing, where you are, and who you are dating. Each person has the right to share their life with who they choose to, I just believe we would live a more productive life if we just focused on things that make us better rather than trying to find out who your friends are hanging out with when they are not with you or who your ex bf/ gf are talking to after you break up.
