Social Networking Sites

     Social Media has introduced society to the art of social networking.With the creation of sites like Facebook,Myspace and Twitter we are all given a way to stay connected via the internet.Some may say that their all the same but I strongly disagree.In my opinion each social network can be described as a bigger and better version of the one before.Myspace was one of the first sites to really be successful as social networking site.As a member of myspace I enjoyed it's features but I felt like it was missing some  more fetters like being friends with people you actually knew.To solve that problem Facebook was created.Facebook could be described in the early days as re connecting with your high school year book or even getting in touch with your long lost relatives. Facebook made people actually sign up as a solution to finding people they haven't spoke to or seen years.Twitter then became big but used a different marketing tool to its success.It challenged people to express themselves in 140 characters or less. Some praised twitter for this because it challenged people to be creative with their "tweets". Compare,all our favorite social networks we can but why should we when we can enjoy each of them for their very own individuality.

What Is New Media? Description of New Media

                                       What Is New Media?

                 Media can be described as a source of communication.Radio,television and the newspaper can all be classified as different types of media.In today's world media is ever changing.Media is ever changing because it goes hand in hand with technology in my opinion.With that being stated new media can also be defined and measured by the newest and most popular technology.Technology is defined as the usage and knowledge of tools,machines and techniques in order to solve or improve a problem or perform a specific function.Examples of new technology are laptops,cell phones,gps system,iPads and the list goes on.Companies are trying to make information more accessible, they are making their products very light weight and easy to carry.New media is still a reflection of old media yet more advanced.For example radio,television and newspapers are all still a part of media in today's world.The only difference is that they're all online.Which now introduces the internet and its role in new media.Without internet where would media be?Most likely back in the old media days.Internet makes all the difference because its needed to access all the features on most technical devices.In my opinion new media is not replacing old media,its enhancing it.It is making the forms of media which we are all accustom too more reliable,flexible and more available for us.In "The End Of Books" I read some good quotes and opinions by the writer but I don't agree that books has come to an end,its just simply evolving.

Project Description

                              SOCIAL NETWORKING

   A  Purposeful Loss of Privacy 

For my project I will be researching social media.The good the bad and also explore the idea of privacy not being so private anymore.Since the rise of social media the ways of finding out information on people have become that of a kid in kindergarden.Yes its that easy.All you do is type that person's name into any search engine e.g. goggle,bing etc.Social networking is defined as "a strutter made up of individuals and the dyadic ties between these individuals".These same individuals expose their lives, their joys and their pains.Can it be said that we do it to ourselves?We have created this sense of lost privacy.
