Ok so there has been a bit of criticism regarding this blog and to be honest i can understand why, this is the first blog I have ever attempted and to be perfectly honest it really isn't my cup of tea. Blogging reminds me of those people who avidly talk into their dictaphones posting numbered idea logs which is a concept i just can't get my head round but I am willing to put a bit more effort in and try and rescue this sinking ship by upping the post quota alright.
A big concern was that i have not explained my chosen idea so i will convey that now, my project primarily focuses on the idea of social networking and how nowadays it takes over a large part of our life and is effectively eliminating the art of face to face conversation. I am planning a short documentary effectively 10 minutes in length on this subject matter including various elements surrounding it, these element will focus on the following...
-The origin of social networking: including email, text messaging replacing phone calls, chat rooms, online dating and lastly social networking websites such as myspace and facebook
-The main use's of social networking today: Various videogame consoles use social networking (for example Nintendo DS using the touchscreen to send personal messages in a fun way) The upcoming launch of Playstation Home (an interactive social area like 2nd life, the sims etc.)
-Facebook: The whole aspect of this internet phenomenon including the ways in which people can spy on others and learn email addresses/phone+mobile numbers/home addresses etc.
Facebook is quite badly designed when it comes down to privacy
-criticism: Social networking nightmares include...The closing down of msn chat rooms due to paedophile fears, the bluetooth 'Toothing' craze and facebook in the press with murders being committed because of the site etc.
The Future: What does the future hold for facebook/social networking, My impression of the future and the future shown by current media e.g. Futurama, Dave Chappelle internet skit etc.
Hopefully this should clear up any concerns and i hope you are looking forward to seeing my documentary.
Regards
