Myspace VS Facebook

  


 

    


    Technology as we knew it has changed dramatically since 2003 when Myspace hit the internet streets, it was the first social network to reach a global audience and had a significant influence on technology.  Myspace was one of the first now Facebook is up and trendy, it's hard to think of life without Facebook. Facebook allows people to share whatever it is that they want.  By 2010, some two decades after internet use became commonplace, that same generation knew of nothing but a world of interactivity and sharing of information, pictures, videos, and comments. The fact that Facebook surpassed Google in one measure as the most popular site on the internet in 2010 illustrates this shift in expectations  (Kolodzy, 2013).  Facebook is giving individuals in societies across the world more power relative to social institutions, and that may well lead to very disruptive changes (Zeng, n.d.).  Myspace, I believe paved the way for our social network today.

Cultural Norms

Image
 Within a group of people, cultural norms refer to shared beliefs and certain expectations that establish attitudes and patterns of behavior. Every nation and its community have its own identical coherence, culture, tradition, social norms, and values. Cyber-Arab-Culture is one example of a newly emerging cyberculture, produced through the interactive process of globalization, democratization, privatization, digitization, and Arabization (Ricardo,2009.). Technology has a crucial impact on fundamental aspects of all our cultures including   education and religion. I believe technology should harmonize our community's social and cultural conditions. A balance allows people to  exercise freedom of expression in the technical world which is beyond one's ethnicity. Ricardo, F. (2009).  Cyberculture and New Media  (Vol. 56).

Old Media VS New Media

Image
  The fast evolution and embracing of new technology have changed the face of communication through traditional media. According to the Newspaper Association of America, the word of the day is innovation. Print and broadcast media communication professionals have had to compete with amateur publishers for readers’ limited attention spans. Media organizations that fail to keep things up to date on the new communication technology may find themselves being enveloped by other sprightly communication establishments. Joe Cote stated New Media is any media. It doesn't necessarily refer to a specific mode of communication. It becomes even more complicated to define when you consider that definition continually changes as technology continues to progress (Cote, 2022). Change is what makes New Media Valuable.

Techonlogy is our Friend 🤔

Image
     Mass Media has changed the way, families interact as well it has changed how we interact with colleagues and friends. The majority of communication is through some sort of device. In some ways it is convenient. However, certain studies have shown that mobile communication affects people in a negative way when it comes to being sociable and making face-to-face contact. There is less personal time, as well as distraction. But the expectations of the modern day are interwoven, and neither can be separated from contemporary society it seems as though one can't exist without the other. 🤔
