Economics, Networking Citizens

Here an article wrote by Peter Bradwell and Richard Reeves and it is about "Network Citizens, Economics". Nowadays, technologies had been improve and most of the people using technologies everyday compare to last time. In the first paragraph, there a sentences said "Technology is only part of the answer to why it is that networks have remained in such sharp focus, and have occupied thinking around work and businesses." Yes, it is truth that most of the people more rely on technologies for their work instead of using physical and manually to done their work. Example, last time people produce noodles by hand but nowadays there were a lot of noodles products in the market and all of them is done by using technologies to produce the noodles efficient and fast, not like last time our grandparents or parents using hand and take a long time to done the noodles. All of it is so-called "liquid labor", it is means people now are use knowledge and do a business by using technologies more than do a business by manually just like what I had said above.

Nowadays, there were a lot of people using internet to run a business or give services to the customer or user of networking. Of course there were have the advantages and disadvantages to run a business. At first, free of charge to open a website to run business, just like what people nowadays rather open a online shop than open a shop in a place as both of the capital to run the business is totally, online shop is just need to purchase product and do not have to pay others extra usage. If you open a shop, you have to pay the rental, installment, bill and others. By the way, there were some of people using both side to run a business. Actually is easier to get attention if promote your shop or product in internet as a lot of people using the social networking nowadays so they can got to know and aware of the product or services instead of giving flyer and brochure. Flyer and brochure always have to pay for that and you cannot guarantee people will keep it as you can see those people after took it will straightaway throw it away. 

                                           

Other than that, nowadays most of the company run a business and connect to their customers most probably rely on the networking and technologies. So, employee nowadays will sit in the office and connect to their customer and it is not like last time as last time we are using computers to type a letter and employee like to use mailing a letter to their customers as they never aware of what we have and use right now, such as Hotmail, MSN, Gmail or Yahoo. Yes, networking and technologies have give the convenient and efficient way to ta company run a business but it cause the employee mix up the personal and business together. Why? It is because employee nowadays will access to their social networking while during working hours and do not concentrate on  their work and in the article had said that "Offices have in any case also become more important social communities, with increasing numbers of workers finding friends, partners and spouses though work." It is true as it is what I saw during my internship in a company, there were a lot of employees log in their social networking website to connect with their friend without knowing by their supervisor, because of that my company had blocked all the social website but still those employee try to find a way to hacked and log in, in another view, it can see that people can't live without social networking. Besides that, there were a Creative Group marketing do a survey about the impact of collaboration and changing workplaces, it found out that in US there were 57 per cent employee browse non-work related websites during business hours. It make sense that networking had changed the life of people and it become widely and it is really a part of everyone life. 

Thus, social networking also a place for you to made new customer, we could not said that social networking does not help us in business. Other than that, we can create awareness, credibility and image of company by using internet as well. So, do business while using networking has it own advantages and disadvantages, we cannot balance and solve it all the times. People using networking and technologies to run a business it really cut down their cost as networking is free of charge whenever you create a group and account. 

In the conclusion, networking had changed our life and also had changed the strategy of how people run a business in the past and present. It help also help the business and economics become widely as we can spread the business to the whole world. Not only local people can purchase our product even others country can purchase our product by using the networking. I just can said that networking had become a part of our life and people cannot live without networking. 

I hope I had explain about the economics in the correct way, if anything wrong do tell me. Thanks for spending your time read this post. :)

What's thought that I think of CYBERSPACE?

What's Cyberspace? In my mind, Cyberspace was a place for everyone to do whatever they want in internet according to their interest, need, and personality. Cyberspace will be a place that I can do whatever I want without any permission, control by others. I always use Cyberspace to express my feeling, connect with people that around the world, and assignments. 

                                      

Whenever what network that we browsing and surfing in the internet also an example of Cyberspace, just like I do right now, post a post in my blog, this is also an example of Cyberspace. Governments do not have the right to control anything users done in Cyberspace as users also got their own privacy and right. I like this sentences that wrote by John Perry Barlow,

"Cyberspace does not lie within your borders. Do not think that you can build it, as though it were a public construction project. You cannot. It is an act of nature and it grows itself through our collective actions."

Government cannot build it as it was build up by the public around the world and it is an act of nature. It grows up by everyone collective actions just like everyday there were a lot of update and new information or software that created by people and yet improve the systems of Cyberspace. From that people can gain new knowledge again as Cyberspace will not always remain at the same level, it will only keep improving. Government think that Cyberspace always create problems to let them solve, but have they think of the good side of it? Problems mostly is because of people misuse the functions of Cyberspace then only the problems will be happen and also due the personality of the users. For me, Cyberspace is helpful and convenient to us such as we can send mail, update information, receive mail, searching information, surfing net, connecting with others and whatever we want to do in internet. But I'm not saying that government could not set up rules and laws in Cyberspace as they set up all the rules and laws also a things that protect users privacy and prevent them misuse of it. Besides that, government should not always control the rights of users. 

By the way, different country have different laws for Cyberspace. The things will always remain same will be the users in Cyberspace as they use it always according to their needs and interests. Government can't change it as well because this is our lifestyle. I believe that although government set up any rules and laws also will not made the Cyberspace disappear. As Cyberspace is important for everyone even government will use Cyberspace for the political issues, organizations and everything. 

Cyberspace always got the pros and cons, but in my mind pros will be the most that Cyberspace gave us as it bringing a lot of knowledge that can made our life more colorful and keep updating our personality and life. People always free in Cyberspace as no one can stop us and control. Cyberspace also got the cons for it, it is not totally safe for sometimes as many people misuse of it such as keep created virus in the internet and also there were a lot of issue that happen in Cyberspace such as cheated, hacked, privacy lost and everything. 

Everyone have the right and freedom to do whatever without any control and just like what John Perry Barlow said:

                               

"We are creating a world that all may enter without privilege or prejudice accorded by race, economic power, military force, or station of birth."

"We are creating a world where anyone, anywhere may express his or her beliefs, no matter how singular, without fear of being coerced into silence or conformity."

Everyone can post or do anything Cyberspace without race, economic power, gender, level or ages just like whenever we made friend in a social networking will not because of different races or gender then we reject to be friend. Meanwhile always can have the right to said whatever they want, so- called freedom of speech without fear and worrying.

In the conclusion,  Cyberspace will be a places that people get freedom and do whatever they want, of course we couldn't say that government couldn't made some rules and laws in it, rules and laws still have to remains as might help and protect our privacy or issues in Cyberspace. Although have the rules and laws, there were still a lot of problems and issues that unsolved as there were a lot of new things in Cyberspace. Anyway, Cyberspace will not always disappear in our life. 

  

                                      

The Nature Of World

Information Of Ecology

According to Felix Stalder, in the networking there were 2 elements, there were Flows and Nodes. What I know and understand these 2 of them are important to each other. They can't be perfect without each others. Flows just like a place which gather a lot of different kind of information to user just like us, peoples can gain and change their knowledge from it. . Other than that, nodes are produce and coming out new information and the connect to the flows of information. It helps the flows of information keep changing and get more and more update information to people. Maybe can made it easily, Flows and Nodes relationships just like the producers and supplier. Nodes will be producers that produce new information and the flows just like a supplier that supply all the information to people. ( Do tell me whether I get the correct meaning of flows and Nodes)

4 basic dimensions of Information Ecology

Interdependency

It's true that nodes are interconnect with others nodes as well as want to tied up them together to become a large shared environment. Nowadays, you can see from the networking there were a lot of information that is talking about the same topic but there were a lot of different kind of good points towards the topic, from that everyone can get different kind of opinion for the same topic. Maybe what I explained is not totally correct for it. Everything in the network are interconnect as you can see how the network working now. All different kind networks software are connecting with each others and they keep updating and improve on it. In the networking, anything is not isolated as every single things in the networks is supported by each other as only can made the things more successful and improve of it. 

Change 

From this paragraph what I know is when two different kind of information flow connect to each other will be change as different environment there were have their own minder and of course there were change the information flow to a new information that what they think. I like this sentences:

       " A bridge cannot simply couple between 2 independent village, although both of them couple might turn to a new city or new war"

It's true as we can't simply take any information flow as both of usage and minder is not the same, when they connect either will be success or failure. What you can see from the website, everything can be change every single day. Everything is interconnect in networking as we can access to each other anytime. 

Time-Boundness

Made it simple, everything in the network will be changed everytime and keep updating. Every things had it own life span and it all depends on it usage to different kind of people. What I can see that every single day there were a lot of people giving the new and update information for people. Of course people will looking at those new update, so the old information people will just ignore it. People always like keep on eyes on new things, it is just human being. As you can see every single software are keep updating and provide new service to us.

Differentiation

It's true that by saying survival is differentiation and not similarity. Everything is not stay at the same level or information, what people of the whole world want will be new information, new things, new idea for everything. It's not only in the networking also in our life. Everything is keep changing and get new stuff to people. The more different you have, you will be survival, no one will look at the same things that given before. Everyone is searching for new things.

From these 4 basic dimension is really make sense for me. Hope what I think would be correct, if incorrect do leave me a comment. :)

                  

Network Matters?

Network Matters?

Basically, I started to use network when I was Form 3, it is because that time do not have any computer to use so before that I was just heard about my friend said some of the social networking website, such as Friendster and MSN. I don't even know what is google website. I total a 0% that know about network. After I get a laptop, I was just started know what is network and how big a network in the world. The lately and famous social networking or website that I use everyday will be facebook, google, blogspot, skype. I use all this website to communicate with different kind of people and of course the more important things is I can connect and keep in touch with my friend with the fast way. Networking just like a connection tool between  person to person, this is what I think.

                                       
                                            A connection tool between person to person


What Mr. Faizal said about the snail mail and the internet. Due to the changing of new era, snail mail was being abandoned by people. Nowadays, most of the people will using internet to send their message and connect with friend plus everyone is afford to buy a laptop or desktop as the price is cheaper than last time. In my opinion, the internet and the snail mail will be internet can send to everyone in one time, but if snail mail have to separate the message then send one by one. Last time, our generation is using the snail mail to keep in touch our friend. Seriously, networking is bringing a lot of convenience and advantages to people contact with others around the world.
     

                                    

                     This how people to know and keep in touch with others by using networking. :)
 
Of course networking is not only for us to keep in touch with others and make new friends. It is useful use on searching information from different kind of website to help us in our work, assignments and of course let us to upgrade our knowledge. Other than that, recently there got a lot of people doing online shopping and post their business at the internet, in my generation online shopping maybe is still new and everyone is not aware of it and then it is not popular in our generation, but now when you are surfing net, you will see a lot of advertisement that about online shopping in different kind of website. Online shopping was a convenient to let others to purchase what they want by internet but also have to disadvantage as there were a lot of cheated case and maybe the quality of the product is different what you had saw. Anyway, people will think that will online shopping replace our shopping centre, what I think is it won't replace as people still like to shopping at shoppping centre, for me I would prefer shopping at shopping centre. "Networking know is no boundaries." Yes, Networking know no boundaries as there were a lot of software and website always created in anytime. Anyway, the number's of networking field will not decrease but will always increase.

Overall of what I know about Networking was it will bringing as advantages more disadvantages as what I know that it really convenient for me to communicate and keep in touch who is far away from us, means we can contact and keep in touch with peoples around the whole WORLD. Plus is helping us to gain our knowledge. At last, sorry that I got a lot of grammar mistake and maybe the point of mine was a bit not accurate or it's not related to the topic. But this is what I'm thinking. Do apologize my language. :) Hope you enjoy it. :)
