Lesson1: Introduction to Social Network

Name: Nana Matsubara

THINK
1. I only recognize "You Tube" and "G-mail."
Social software offers online frameworks where people can
share information and interact etc.
What makes social software "social" is the presence of a
crowd who receives information when sender puts outputs
something online. There is a possibility of reciprocal
interaction created there.

2. Networks are various connections between
people/objects/etc and social networks are those that are
created as a result of social activities of human being

EXPLORE
- I cannot think of any particular examples.
- Some of the key words in the second video are
visible/invisible.
- What seemed surprising are:
- the sum of My Space users accumulate to the 8th most
densely populated country in the world.
- currently, 1 out of 8 couples who get married originally
met online in the U.S.
- big social changes that are taking place now in general,
such as their career and college majors

DO
In the 3rd video, it is shown that our society is
undergoing
"exponential time" of changes. I am rather unaware that
it is happening and am not ready for all those changes.
Living in 21st century, one does not seem to have a choice
but to learn how to use social software.
Acquiring such knowledge now, in particular for learning,
will enable one to utilize various tools in the future for
whatever the works he/she chooses.
