This weeks lecture covered a variety of ideas fom assessment protocols to social media outlets. However, this blog will focus on social media and will mention just a few of many social media outlets people use today in order to connect with people accross the globe, share ideas and develop there own thoughts.
This high speed communication is changing the world as we know it. So fast are these social outlets that quite often the public will know of an event before the authorities even know of it.
With the advance of information technology, the world has become a globalised arena with information shared via social outlets in there hundreds and thousands. For an employer, this is very important to understand as some techniques that employees adopt in order to suss out a persons profile is to use web analysis of various online social websites. A few of these include: facebook; youtube; slideshare; twitter; I phone Apps prezi, creative commons and blogger of course.
Such social outlets are an efficient and effective way in which to share information and gather thoughts and ideas. But surely there is a limit to the amount of information that one shares with the public. Take for example twitter. Each day over 340 million tweets are recorded. Of course, the human brain is unlimited in its capacity to gather, share and acknowledge thoughts and ideas, but at what point is there a limit to the amount of information a person, or even a pedagogue will feel free to share with the general public?
Any thoughts are much appreciated.
