Essay #1

When joining a social network one is basically signing  a contract giving everyone the right into there personal space. There is going to be a loss of privacy, it just comes with the web page. This can be seen as harmful, or beneficial to us as a whole. As we get further and further in our social networks we almost lose are personality and join together to form one super person.


Joining a social network comes with a price. You will most likely lose some personal space. For example, someone can easily post an embarrassing picture of you that you would usually keep private. One could also easily view your profile and look at all your information. I feel like as our society progresses and our technology has improves we lose more and more of our personal space and time to ourselves. For example, we can not escape cellphones because they are always there sitting in our front pockets. Now we can't go anywhere without being connected to the internet because it is on our cell phones. We are basically all just links in a giant chain. We are all connected to one giant net work.


Being on a social network and having a lack of privacy can be a bad thing. For example, your boss might stumble upon your page and see a picture of you which gives him just enough evidence to have you fired. So in the end it either becomes have a page get fired, don't put as much up so you don't get  to express yourself, or don't have a page at all. I personally don't think its fair that jobs can judge because of  a website, but in the end my opinion does not really matter.

As we get further and further into technology and social networks we become more and more connected with one another. Our pages look similar and have similar stuff on it, our pictures start to look similar with similar goofy smiles. It is almost as if we are becoming one hyper person becoming connected by face book and social network sites like it. I personally feel like I know people better even if I don't really know them, because of their facebook pages.

When joining a social network one is almost guaranteed to lose some personal space. People will always be able to contact you. There is also a huge loss of privacy. It can be good, or it can be bad, like if your trying to get a job. With social networks, like facebook, we are almost joining together to become one hyper person. Facebook is joining us together and it could be a good thing or a bad thing.

Hulu Comercial

Basically my my image shows everything that Hulu is capable of. The top to images inside of the moniter are a reel of film and a TV. These are what people think of what they think of Hulu, how ever a lot of people don't know that you can also watch sports and listen to music on Hulu. Hulu is all of these things and more packed into a computer.

All of this has changed not only the way we watch TV, but the way we think about it. Hulu has made TV entertainment always available, and completely shareable. Now one can send a link of a TV show or clip to a friend, where as with a TV one could not. I find my self asking could this be a bad or a good thing. On one side we have an easy access to entertainment and news.  We are connected to the outside world and with each other. On the other hand it could be making a lazier more, almost TV brainwashed, world.

I chose Hulu because of its vast diversity. I personally believe that Hulu and websites like it are soon to make TV an obsolete medium. It has so much to offer like a plethora of TV shows, movies, and short clips. Hulu is a great medium of advertising because it viewers are forced to watch several ads through out there intended program.
