Filter Bubbles AND Mind Control



     The two articles and video are showing me that internet is slowly change our life. It seem to open our eyes and connect to the world but it also expose our personal privacy. People like to use computer because they want to get all information except newspaper. However, we didn't realize that internet is filtering the information, it limit our vision and we missed many of information that we want in original. Everyday ,I check cell phone while I was getting up, and than use Ipad, computer, I seem use those three technology whole day and could not leave them even one minute.

  For instance, Twitter is most popular network in this generation, almost 90 percents of Americans use Twitter everyday. When I sigh in to Twitter, it would remainder me that my best friend was update her Twitter, network has know my all information ,it knew who I like to chat, what I like to browse. I like to use Chrome to browse the web, because it is safety.The most useful one is, it would remember all the webs I did browsed.

   However, it causes a big issue of personal privacy. Our personal information expose from network and application. If we have a safety internet that could be different. In the article, the writer said that after we got a way to prevent the network issue, we could have a new internet we can browse the web we like and also could keep our privacy safety.

"How Obama Did It"

I believe President Obama is the first one used internet and media during his campaign. We have to marvel the power that internet own, it helped President Obama successfully won first campaign.For example,he spent money on media,to predict voting results and encouraged citizens used mobile to vote.I believe President Obama is very smart,because he knew that 90 percents of citizens use computer everyday more than reading newspaper.

  At this all, why did I say President was very successful on network? He created a "link communities" on the his website to provide people write their suggestion or share idea to help him win the campaign. That caused people felt President Obama was very close to us and kindly.At the first, he won hearts from people, next,he use "link communities" to share his idea of how he is going to do after he be a president and how is going to help people. He used network to make many of commitment that people could easy to figure out his policy. Because internet is more faster than newspaper, people could quickly get news from President Obama's team. Moreover, he is the first Africa-American campaigner, used network and media would help him exposed greatly.

  Therefore, I believe media and internet has given largest help, it let people remember his words,policy and commitment better than other campaigner. Internet is developing,more and more people are going to use computer and internet, and it's becoming more convince.

Growing up online

    
  
    Internet is an indispensable social in 21st century. More and more people couldn't avoid internet, because internet can help they a lot in normal life such as solve homework problems, job issues, using e book instead of paper book .However, while internet is bringing a convince lifestyle to people, it also bring negative effect to young people. Teens use social networking to make new friendship without leaving home and stay front of computer everyday. In addition,they are receiving bad information such as sexual, however, some of they are under 18 even 14. Moreover, cyber bullying is one kind of negative effect teen's behavior.

    In the video,Jessica Hunter is very popular online by her artist photos, actually, she is very shy and awkward girl and often bullied by other students. She found that she was reborn online after post her artist photos, many of teens write comment how does they like her photo, however the photo are over sexy and do not fit to teens. Her father was wrong Jessica spent whole day on internet and he was concern what's going on Jessica. In nowadays,teens are trying to get new identify and  pretend be another person online,they feel like they can be understood in network,they feel they are happiness, the world behind the computer is new world and has huge distance to real world.However, they're parent begin to worry about children. They think children are easy to change behavior by Network, because young people seem like to watch video on YouTube, they thought that was funny, and never ever thought it was bad. They imitated something they feel cool even if some of the video are disturb. Teens pretend be crazy because it's funny and nobody care who they are. In the video, teens watched a  people were fighting in the video, they Therefore, parents took serious steps to prevent they're children addict to network. For instance, only has one computer at home or parent control the computer. However, something negative result appear, they was a lot argument between parents and children of computer. Parent believe they are trying to help children get off and avoid computer to go back to normal life, but teens seem they're over control.

   Eventually, we realized that network has negative affect for young teens, and there has a lot argument between parents and children. Parents need to teach they're children how much negative effect from network could destroy they're life.
