Why Network matter? Practically, network has possessed the tech-infused and high enhancement on our life.Majority of people would have their own Facebook now, even though a small kid like 6 years old and above.The precise amount of people who are using different kind of social networking is uncountable, in a natural manner the society has become the ''Global Network'' which has expanding into an unpredictable global scale.
According to the researcher, Manuel Castells has stated that networking has actually permeated all the domains of social life. I am strongly believing in that because people nowadays are also using different kind of high tech gadget such as Iphone, Ipad & et cetera to interconnect within each other and enhance the network relations. Perhaps, the boundaries of network is becoming wide by just connecting various social networking sites with just one high tech gadget. So what if billion of people have several handheld devices or others within themselves?
Once again, as what Manuel Castells mentioned, civil society is reconstructed at the local and global level through networks of activists, often organised and debated over the Internet. It could be mean that the people now is trying to increase their recognition or population via the flexibility usage of network communication and network could be also refer as an ''trend'' that altered the complexity life of the civil society.
Besides the usage of Internet, media is also counted as the network which has occupied the time space of the public. For example, newspaper, radio, television, movies, music and et cetera has actually linked. Thus, we could share and see the same news, issues or any other events which are happening right now. It is pretty amazing that these communication medium are joint work to make the people communicate with each other.
Next, the power of network is reconstructing and shaping the life of society. People can interconnect with others, but on the same time it can be disconnect based on their flexibility using the social networking. Indeed, I am not really sure whether my explanation is true or not as what Manuel Castells mentioned in the journal and stated that the power is the "switchers" in network society.
So guys, as for now we are also interconnecting with each other, aren't we? This is why network matter so we can communicate and increasing our understanding by posting, tweeting and commenting!And also not being left out, Facebook. =)
Yes, nowadays the ways to communication with each other through networks such as Facebook are amazing and more people are connected to Facebook. My own experience is I have one uncle he is over 50 and my cousin who below 12, both of them have Facebook account. Facebook really can link different people together. Moreover, gadgets also help us a lot, we can use phones to log in our Facebook accounts even we are not at home. In my opinion, sometime we might have a better communication through networks due to the efficiency and the tools we can use to deliver information and messages.
ReplyDeleteIt's great how we can upload and download medias right now. File sharing is no more a problem for us. Imagine, without the network, I guess it'll be a problem even for us to know the latest songs or movies right? haha!
ReplyDeleteomg, I failed 3 times on commenting on your blog. :( and I forget what I want to comment!
ReplyDeletebut anyway, I agree high-tech gadgets bring people into network. Without high-tech gadgets, network won't works. Use myself as an example. I'm an iPhone user, I'll check my phone every 15min/half an hour. Actually there are nothing to check on, but ya, high-tech gadgets got that power. Network getting wider with the development of high-tech gadgets.
Xin yee: Yes, what u said is true!Uncle aunty & kids nowadays are superb!

Pei Jie:Ya i agree with that.High tech gadgets help a lot especially when house is out-of-electricity. At least still got an smartphone to online & etc. :)
im totally agree with the high-tech gadgets that bring network even closer to us. we can connect to network at anytime and anywhere. People always stares at the screen of their phone while eating, walking and even talking =)
ReplyDeleteI see that you have gave a lot of thought about the internet and networks. Great!
ReplyDeleteYour point on local vs global is a bit unclear. (It could mean a few things) and you may need to improve sentence structures. You'll improve as you write more postings I'm sure, so keep posting.
Good start.
Appreciated your advice, Sir. :)
ReplyDeleteJust like xin yee said, in my experience, from grandmum 60 years old to my cousin 4 years old , they have their own FB account. No matter local or global, i'm sure that the network had influences the people from young to old , from in and out. My cousin 2 years old start to use Ipad for playing game, in this way, i already can imagine how the network will change the world.In the future, network will like water and human, people can't live without water.just like people can't live without internet.However, network had bought a lot of benefits to improve our life.
