Why Networks Matter?

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. =)
