Think
1. Social Software
From the above pictures, I'm familiar with a few of the images such as
flickr, Gmail, wikipedia, YouTube and facebook. I think that the social
software is a kind of software, which people uses in order to expand
their knowledge and experiences even if they are not actually
experiencing those events. Furthermore, social software makes social if
the users put in some kind of their own information to interact with
somebody. For example, people have to upload pictures to make comments,
suggestions and feedback on the flickr.
2. Social Networks
Belongings to certain networks simultaneously involve having and sharing
the information with the people you know. I think that sharing the
information in addition to having information is crucial in the
definition of networks. Therefore, social networks become social only if
sharing the information is occurred.
Explore
1. The incident of Enron Corporation will be an example. The Enron,
former energy corporation based in Texas, has involved the systematic
accounting fraud and ultimately bankrupted. This Enron scandal was first
reveled from the insider information from one of their employees.
2. Make notes on what you think the key words are?
Connection, Social Networking Service (SNS), Get things done
3. What were three things that surprises you?
1. College majors 2. Amount of information
3. Fast developing technologies
I completely agree with the ideas of college majors presented in the
video. The world is developing and changing rapidly, so the successful
students are necessary to grab the right opportunities for their career.
Also, there are college majors that we don't see compared to 10 years ago.
Also, I realized that the amount of information is tremendous.
Therefore, utilizing those tremendous information is crucial.
Same as in the example of college majors, we have to foresee the future
to grab the right opportunities because the worlds around us are
inspired by the fast developing technologies.
Do
1. I strongly realized that we have to be a creator of the future in
order to grab the opportunities. Predicting the future needs and adopt
to those changes will produce tremendous outputs. Of course, utilizing
information is necessary. But I think I have to alternate our viewpoint.
My intentions of studying social software for learning is help adopting
to the future needs.
