This is the talk of Clay Shirky. In fact, I don't know who is he, but the topic of his talking seems to be very interesting one, so I tried to watched his talk, and what is a result? That is not wasted my time anymore. The seventeen minutes of his talk is very exciting and his speech is obviously clear for me and also another foreigner too. The topic is "How cellphones, Twitter, Facebook can make history"
Mr.Shirky tried to told his audiences that what is the differences between previous media and today media, and why does this media important? His example is very easy for me to catch up with his idea, and I believe that it is easy for you too.
According to Shirky's talk, we are in globalization period, and it is very important to everyone to know every news which is happened around the world. Today's technology gives us that convenience. We can know what occur in U.S.A in the same time its happen even though you stay in Thailand because of Internet. Moreover, by using Internet, you are not only know what is happen in another continent, but you can also respond with them too. That is the difference of today technology and the older. If you were in mid of twentieth century, you couldn't do like that anymore because that media offered one-to-one approach and one-to-many approach only.
In fact, this technology is very powerful for user especially for citizens who want to know the facts that it not generate by their government and use Internet for help them to argue against with their government too. Moreover,Shirky said that it is depends on our capability to make them useful or useless.
For me, I'm strongly agree with Shirky because I can see a plenty of people using and searching information form Internet everyday. We can use this media to watching news instead of buying newspaper or sitting in front of our television. We can go into our government's site to tell them our problem or give them our opinion. And, I believe that this is the way to communicate with another, if your government treat you with no judgment.
What is that mean? That is mean our life absolutely changed from people who lived in two or three decades ago. In addition, it changed in better way which is increase our quality of life because all people can live together with equality.
In conclusion, I think that using Internet such as twitter, facebook, or Hi5 is the most powerful to improves our culture, our city, and our life too. Moreover, again, I agree with Shirky that how useful of Internet is it...it is depend on us.
