Wednesday

In our era of such advance technology, our ways of communicating our thoughts and ideas are heightened and easily shown to everyone in the world. Networks such as Blogger and Facebook, make things so easy for us to express ourselves, and the fact that we add video clips, images, and pretty much anything else we wanted, makes it that much more effective. This whole "friend" system furthers that point as messages that start with one set of people and location could be completely different within a short amount of time. It really is interesting to find out how to complete strangers could be connected to each other without really knowing it. Everything is laid out for us, all we have to do is write our opinions and anyone can see or read it. Whether this is used properly and to its maximum effect is completely up to us.
For example i could post my artwork in such networks, and people could see it and talk about it, but it is up to me what networks i post them on and who i want to send them to.
Themes such as personal identity and personal space can easily be applied and carried out because, a physical presence is not required. All someone has to do is photoshop images and create a story to be a completely different person. and personal space can be easily invaded through advertisements and spam.
