While I was reading an article on Generation F from Opensource.com, I was interested by the way things worked online. Everything seems to run off how one acts. If someone acts like a jerk, they don't get as much respect as to someone who helps fellow web users. Though this is somewhat expected, that is not always the way the world works offline, which is why the internet has such an interesting community. Everything defines itself, how it runs, how it's treated, etc. Most everything is by choice of interest. There is no authority, but the ones that have been created by all the users. And hackers that fight the authority are held in high regard.
So much of the web is volunteer and the reward would be simply enjoyment to do what they are doing.
I know that this could change my workplace by getting everyone together online. All announcements, random chat, etc. would be easily attainable say if all were on Facebook. Of course it changes lives by changing how people spend their time and of course how they communicate, tell jokes, and tell others about things.
I know it certainly draws me into it everyday, looking to see what is happening in the world.
For example, if I hadn't seen that my brother wasn't busy last night, I wouldn't have a ride home!!!

I have seen the bad the Internet and on-line communication has caused a company. People spend so much time on the net during work hours, not being productive. Research some of the statistic and it will amaze you. Is it know wonder that our country is losing million's of jobs every year to overseas competition?
ReplyDeleteoh yeah, definitely agree. Seems our lazy country has sorta brought it on themselves. As more ambitious people are snatching things up.
ReplyDeleteSorry Josh a little late I know, but, anways, I think it falls to that whole if youre in your in thing because for all the millions of jobs being shipped overseas, more, and more online jobs are rising. People always choose the big companies to go after and attack such as Facebook, but, facebook is an American company and is by no means a one man show to operate. Facebook started with one mans plan on how to meet girls while attending college and living on campus, now thanks to this plan he employs, multiple people.
