WEEK TWO- Information Society / plagiarism

The web 2.0 helps us:

•  as ameatures become professionals within the media industry
• social networking sites as youtube for film/singing
•  flicker/instragram for our photography

These sites offer cheap films/podcasts and photos outside expensive studios and photoshop.

Facebook ameature Picture: Flashlight

• simple idea but unique in her own way.
• the darkness within the picture shows she wants to be hiden, insecure?
• Makes the image very mysterious...
• Uploading this photo gets her quick likes, shares and feedback helping her to improve her work.

Social networking sites good points:

•  Are portable to use use from different mediums
•  Quickly create an idea/photo/video/opinion
• This also advertises for free our work and cheaply created.
•  This can relate too the music industry as well, since Justin Beiber got famous over youtube.

Safety and Privacy:

• People out there can easily make a duplicate identity of ourselves and either start trolling online, or stealing ideas and images we have taken
•  Cant do anything about this when the person is on the other side of the world and they steal an image of theres, and use it for personal gain such as a coursework assignment.
•  These issues have been raised by the government and are starting to issue some sort of ban on social networking sites on how much information is too much.
• Reading such stories online about people writing how they are out of a long walk or meal- a burglar on your facebook now knows your not home?
• Social networking sites are now just starting to fight back by letting US control the site, what we want people to see, adding our facebook friends into groups and choosing what group you want to see an image, an image you DONT want your boss to see? Also by letting us report abuse and trolling when we come across it.

• she would get retweeted or favourite/quoted by another user, within minutes even if your not friends with the girl you can see her tweet
• This can be a privacy concern.
•  The tweet states she just saw a child at the age of 9 years old with a blackberry, which can be very controversial when it comes to children and technology, how young is too young?
