Reflection Blog 4

We were assign a certain article to read for this week and I was reading about Facebook and how so many people are so addicted to it. And I believe that Facebook is just a waste of time and if we are not careful we will waste a lot of time just scrolling looking for interesting links. After reading through the other articles I think it is important that should aware of this issue of how internet can ruin our lives. One article talks about how things can go viral in just a small amount of time. And I find this very interesting how quick information can go on the internet and how it influences most life. I think pictures and especially video goes viral because some people can relate themselves to it, or it is funny and emotional. And we can say that this is one of the positive connotation of social media. However, some things are not good as they go viral, like gossips and personal identities. I am on Facebook and it is interesting how some people updated their status every now and then. And I think it is crazy to see how some people are so confident to let the whole world who they really are and what they are experienced everyday of their life which is why I suggest that society should be taught in this manner.

We also study about the dark web and I was surprised by how little, we as a user of internet know and what is really out there for us. And I think the dark web has more negativity than its positives. Because it allows people to work secretly and do things which are against the law although it is through this web that they can also find out criminals and government secrets. And by looking at the picture of iceberg and the difference between the dark web and the surface web it surprised me how so much is hidden from users. I had never heard of these things and it was good to know of these things since I am coming from an island where we are not exposed to these kind of information.  We also talk about YouTube and how it becomes one of the powerful engines. And I still cannot believe how many movies are uploaded in a min and how many people are actually viewing them. And I think it is amazing how we want to look for something and we don’t need to ask a friend for it, we can just search it up on the internet and it all has our answers.
