With a platform such as facebook, twitter or linkedin comes invasion of privacy as well as social integration and many other pros and cons. The question is will the individuals in control of these tools cause overall societal progression or regression. My fear is if we as a society allow unregulated symbiosis between man and technology, we will end up in regression overall. some parts of the world i do not care to mention are already showing the signs of such regression, however we are still in the birth stage of this innovation, and sadly the people leading the growth of such tech dont seem to either care or have the capacity to understand how such regulation can be implemented to protect peoples freedom of choice. there is a significant degree of complexity to this problem the average person will never care to consider, like i said its time to weigh the pros and cons in order that we keep the balance in our favour. <br />change always begins with onefarhaannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3506072853183457847.post-61489626048711726472011-10-30T15:14:12.504-07:002011-10-30T15:14:12.504-07:00I'm sorry to see you go from Facebook, but I u...I'm sorry to see you go from Facebook, but I understand your reasons. (And I'm even more thankful now that you have this blog!) It's been interesting for me to watch the original group of friends who convinced me to join Facebook years ago leave altogether, or simply stop posting anything. I know they have concerns like yours, but for me, Facebook has been so incredibly valuable as I feel so much more connected now to some friends and family than I did when I lived in Indiana. Not everyone is great at staying in touch and firing back an email, so I really appreciate the convince of clicking on a person's page to see what they've been up to and what's going on in their life. True, you end up "friends" with a lot of people you aren't really friends with at all, but for me, the benefit of being in touch with my true friends and seeing their photos, hearing about what's going on in their life, etc. is more valuable to me than any possible loss of privacy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3506072853183457847.post-64030830823070527712011-10-08T06:08:13.969-07:002011-10-08T06:08:13.969-07:00I've read too many dystopian science fiction b...I've read too many dystopian science fiction books to not be suspicious of where we are headed. In most of them it's an online game, sort of a 3-D experience that we plug into voluntarily and lose ourselves in... but more and more I think it's going to be an online record and tracking system that shows our lives, rather than a Second Life sort of scenario. Wow, I'm paranoid in the morning! ;-)Lorenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12156097768835940764noreply@blogger.com
