The internet is an interesting topic to talk about. There
are times that it is easy for us to use and there are times that it isn't. As
we study the internet, we will be able to understand it better and be able to
navigate through the vast amounts of information coming through the internet. I
believe that we study the internet is because we want to know what type of
information we could get. Varying from searching for words to define, searching
for locations on Earth, even information on the social lives of our friends and
family. After careful thinking, I do believe that we are able to extend Foot’s methodology
so that we could study social media sites.
When it comes to the internet, people are able to place and
remove any type of information that they want.
I believe that we would have to change this in order for people of
different ages to use the internet and be able to find what they are searching
for without the need to go search for the site and end up with multiple sites
with the same word but not the same content.
I do believe that there is a dynamic nature change in the
SNS’s. The reason is because SNS’s are expanding and practically everyone has
or will have an account on one of these sites. For example, there are a lot of
people who have a Facebook, Twitter, or Blog account. As people post their
thoughts and links on SNS’s, we are able to immediately find out what is
happening. Also, as a society, we have started to connect to people online,
making it easier for us to connect with them. For example, most of my classes
this semester require me to communicate with my class and teacher through Twitter.
So if I ever need additional notes or need to know something that happened in class
that I missed, I am able to find out by searching my class tweet. This makes it
easier for me than scheduling an appointment with the teacher to know what
happened.
If a competitive study between Foot’s post 9/11 and the 2013
marathon bombing were to take place, I believe that it would result with high
emotions and tons of feedback describing about the incident and their opinions
about it. These events are considered dark days in our history books, and the
SNS allows people to go in and express our emotions about the events from sadness
to the loss of lives to the hatred and anger on the people that did it to us.
Personally, I still believe that the 9/11 postings would still get the most
responses. Though both of these events are the result of terrorist attacks, the
9/11 event took place before, took more lives and was an attack that hit deeply
when terrorists hit the heart of New York City and it destroyed two of our
national buildings. It is still something to remember in the history books.
