We are an Ingredient of the Social Network Culture

SOCIAL NETWORK CULTURE

From my understanding social network simply means sharing their experience and knowledge in a trouble-free way. Technologies we have may lead and determine the life we have now. As we see an age bracket becoming more reliant on the ability to network with one another day by day

 It is FAST, RELIABLE and EFFICIENT. It helps to spread and expands knowledge, information and gives orders worldwide. Therefore I strongly disagree with Manuel that we live in a network society because it is a vehicle for information coming from all around the world.

These days everyone belongs to a social network. Every one of us does something to feel belong. Social networking is everywhere. People spend more than an hour a day posting pictures, messaging, tweeting through their phone, Lap top and so on just to feel belong in the society.

Social networking is prepared so that even those who least knowledge on how to use the media can enjoy online socializing by sharing their experience and things going on their live daily. It expands your friend’s circle which might help you to interact with them from any part of the world you are. You can shed light on all your doubts with your friends/lecturers/ and can even lend your hands from charity or social works.

Manuel Castell mention in his journal that civil society is reconstructed at the local and global level through networks of activists often organized and debated over the internet, which form and reconfigure depending on issues, on events, on moods, on cultures.

The reason why activists uses the internet to spread news because keeps one up to date, uses the uncensored nature of the internet to bypass state controlled news media. These the only way the activists can reach the mass without an influence of the government.

For instance, the office phone system with extensions can be measured a network. With such a system, if an employee has a query, rather than shouting it down the hall or leaving their workstation and walking over to the other employee. Rather, they merely pick up the phone and ask.

In conclusion I would say that people could work smarter if people were connected better. And we are an ingredient in social networking.

Advantages of Social Networking from my understanding
