COMP113 Class 2 Social Media Primer

Diff between social media and web2.0?
Immediacy-c.f. "Internet is for Porn"



Web 2.0
"The author is dead"-Social Media highlights the inadequacies of traditional copyright because now much copyright is held by a group of people and it becomes difficult to identify who actually OWNS something.

Passive Interaction <> Active Interaction
From passivity to prosuming
Web 2.0 focuses on tech.-there is little development of new technologies, excluding refinements to old technologies, but rather there has been a change in how this technology is actually applied.



eLearning more successful than face-to-face classes...big claim.
Universities not providing eMail addresses for students-institutional address is more professional than one sent from gmail or yahoo. Or perhaps that is simply me being a troglodyte...



Social media talks more about practices
What do we value-do we value isolation? Or do we value the virtual?-We must respect individuality and not generalise
Humans have a basic need to reach out and connect; is this weakness embedded in the human condition?
Research idea: Coups carried out with Social Media
