Gazing into Future

Human beings have never stopped their explorations and speculations about the future world. And that’s the very reason why the technoledge kept developing rapidly. However, we still can get a few glances at the way the future might look like. In my opinion, with the popularity of smart phones, people’s life in the future will be tightly linked to mobile phones.

About 200 years ago, it was hard or impossible for people lived in that time to imagine that they could speak to each other through something called receivers and electric wires 100 years later. While, for the people lived in the telephone era, it was impossible for them, even Bell himself, to imagine that the telephone could be made into a hand-size, portable mobile phone. The more amazing thing is that the smart phone today can be used to have video chat between the users. We have reason to believe that what the mobile phone might become in future will be far away beyond our imagination. Now, the mobile phones can be used as mini laptops to some degree, actually, the functions of today’s smart phones are more than we can imagine. It is reported that by installing certain software in your iphone, it is easy for you to control your car from a distance. Isn’t it amazing? With a smart phone in hand, we can see, hear and talk to our friends and families whenever and whenever we are. It becomes possible that we read news, novels; watch movies, videos and listen to music all in one mobile phone. I think I don’t have to list all the wonderful functions mobile phones have; in fact, there are too many things that mobile phones can do that it is hard to list them all. Life becomes much more convenient and easier with the help of mobile phones. For example, when I first arrived in Melbourne, I wanted to explore this beautiful city by myself. With my iphone, I can locate my current position through the Google map, and therefore, find out the public transportation that suits me, and have a look at the famous restaurants around me. Even though I have never been to Melbourne before, it is still very easy for me to find out all the fantastic scenic spots and the suitable route for me.

Just as Christel Quek said, mobile is the future and will be the cornerstone of all our activities in the future. (Christel Quek, The Future of Social Media Relevance – Mobile, Niche, Meaning? viewed May 14, 2012) in the future, people will be always moving on, and all the efforts people has done so far is to make people’s daily life easy and comfortable. To live a simple life, we have to use the smart and multi-purpose goods. Why bother to buy some other electronic goods when one mobile phone can do all the work? There is a report about the situation of the using of mobile phones in China. Following are some statistics: about 66% of Chinese internet users access via mobile phones; there are 879,000,000 mobile phone subscribers in China; 70% of Chinese people say they cannot live without their mobile phones. (http://www.slideshare.net/eskimon) From the situation of Chinese users of mobile phone we can say that mobile phones in people’s life all around the world have an irreplaceable position and the role they play in people’s daily life will be more and more important.

The purpose of social media is to give users a platform to interact with each other. While mobile phones can meet almost all the needs people have. You can do all sorts of communication through your phone—make phone calls, send texts, and as long as you get access to the internet through your mobile phone, you are having a mini laptop with you.

The mobile phone is comprehensive equipment. It can meet most of people’s needs. Whether it’s communication, entertainment or even doing work, everything can be done through one Smartphone. Because of the functions mobile phones have and its’ convenience, mobile phones will be the major social media in the future.

Not satisfied with your current life? Try your second life!

   Isn’t it amazing that you can design your life and choose your age, your appearance, and your job as you like? That may sound crazy to some people, but the truth is that everyone can enjoy such life through the online game—second life. From my perspective, the second life is a great idea and it makes the best use of the internet and social media.

     

      Second life is an online virtual world designed by Linden lab. Till 2011, the online game has about one million active users. The users are called residents and they can design their own images, called avatars, which can be children or adult no matter how old the user really is. The reason why the game is called second life is that the users can choose their jobs, make money, travel around, and even get married in the game. Almost all the things people might do in the real world are able to be done in the game and the life in the game is no different to the real life. Just as the term media equation, put up by Byton Reeves and Clifford Nass, indicates that media experiences equal real-life experience. (Meadows, M. S. 2008, I, Avatar: the culture and consequences of having a second life)

I think the game is great because it offers people a platform to escape from the pressure in the real world for a moment and chill out for a bit. In the second life, residents can hang around, get involved into the discussion about the topics that they are interested in or realize their dreams that they cannot achieve in the real world. Just like the name of the game, the users have their second life from the game, which is as real as their first life. The most important thing I think about Second Life is that users can experience their life all over again and make up for the losses in their first life.

Meanwhile, second life can practice the users’ creativity. Second life is not all about playing or dating, if residents want to enjoy their second life, they also have to work hard to get money, called Linden dollar. The work in the second life is not easier than that in the real world. If you want to make millions of Linden dollars, you have to be very creative; otherwise, all you can do is those less skill required but very hard work. For example, the first vitual millionaire, Anshe Chung (a Chinese player) became the wealthiest user in second life by building her own online business of selling virtual lands, buildings and other items. She creatively practices the theory and success of real estate into the virtual game and thus achieves great success.

However, just like all the online games, second life is a virtual game after all. It is very dangerous for the users to get addicted to it. What’s worse, since the second life is so real, some users say sometimes they might confuse the real world with it. There are some people who even spend more than 10 hours per day online and might ignore their real life. Even though people can find love, earn money in the second life, and everything in the game seems as same as what is in the real world, there is a difference between the real world and the virtual world and life in the virtual world can never be replaced by the virtual world. One worry is that as virtual reality environments become much higher quality and immersive, they will become attractive to those wishing to escape real life. (Warren Bennett, Advantages & Disadvantages of virtual reality)

All in all, I still think second life is a great idea, for it creates a virtual world for people to realize their dreams, experience a different life and relax themselves. It is a new form of social media for people to make friends and enjoy social life. On the other hand, I think the users should view the game objectively, it is a virtual game after all, and cannot be viewed as a replacement to the real world.

Mobile Phone—Friend or Manipulator?

    It is true that all of my friends have their own mobile phones; one of them even said that she cannot live without her mobile phone and that mobile phone is her best and most reliable friend. There is no doubt that mobile phones have made our lives much more interesting and easier, however, instead of owning their phones, some people let their phones “own” them and manipulate their life. Should we totally rely on our phones?

I think that my life is filled up with my mobile phone. In the morning, I am waked up by my mobile phone; during the day, I check my emails through my mobile phone, read about news on my phone and chat with my friends through my mobile phone; I always use my mobile phone when I am taking the train or bus to kill the time; the last thing I will do before going to bed is check my phone for texts or emails. Mobile phone has been part of my life and it is the part that I cannot live without. In today’s society, mobile phone was such a common facility among people’s daily life. The reason why I say that I cannot live out with my phone is that I even cannot remember the phone number of my best friends, actually, the only number I can remember without checking my phone is my dad’s. Since I can save all the contact details in my phone, remembering the numbers has never bothered me, but occasionally I am still a little worried that what can I do if there is something dangerous happened and I cannot use my mobile phone, and even if I have some mobile phone available, there is still few people i can turn to because I cannot remember even one of my friends’ numbers.

Mobile phones today are not luxurious items that only the wealthy or powerful people can have. The number of children who are using mobile phones today is increasing rapidly.. As Ling reports for Norway, only 3 percent of 13 years old had cell phones in 1997, while this percentage has risen to 50% in Nov 1999 and to over 80% in 2001.For 16 years old, the percentage was less than 20 in 1997, but about 80% in 1999 and almost 100% in 2001. (Ling 2001a: 7).

Actually, none of my friends has no mobile phone. Some of the people I know have already seen their phones as a symbol of themselves; they will spend a lot of time and energy on decorating their phones and they seem like will never get tired of changing the wallpaper of their phones. Mobile phone today can be seen as a mini-computer. Taking photos, playing games, having video-chat, and watching movies…it seems like mobile phones today can been seen as mini computers and is kind of personal e-secretary. But the problem is that are we really the master of our phones, can we control our use of our phones?

It seems like we use our phones every day, but the fact is that our phones have all the information we need--we have to turn to our phones to check our daily schedule, find out somebody’s phone number and the most basic function of our mobile phones is also the most important that we cannot live without, that is to contact with other people. Sometimes, the mobile phone can be very distractive to people. I was too addicted in playing games on my mobile phone one day and forgot to get off at my station, instead of missing one stop, I messed 4 stops in total. As a result, I had to walk back to home in dark for almost 30 minutes.

Not only adults have their mobile phones, most of teenagers have their mobile phones at a more and more young age. Many parents want their children to have a mobile phone so that they can know what their children are doing whenever and wherever they are, meanwhile, in the parents’ mind, the mobile phone is a must in case their children run into some dangerous situations. However, things are not always like what people wish. Many a students are probably play games or text their friends on their phones in class, a lot of students are looking at their mobile phones instead of reading their text books or listening to their teacher. Mobile phones are not a contact tool to them, but an entertainment of life. In order to have the students keep their concentration on study, my high-school teachers in China asked students not to use mobile phone in school, in fact, we were not allowed to bring mobile phones to our high school. Anyone who against the rule and bring his or her mobile phone to school would receive very strict punishment, even had some really bad record in their resume.

Nothing is perfect, neither do mobile phones. We cannot deny the fact that mobile phones do bring us a lot of convenience, at the same time, the limitation of using mobile phones is very obvious, we should keep an eye on our use of mobile phones and don’t let our mobile phones manipulate our life.

We Now Know MORE about Politics

In the past, politics seemed to be a very serious topic in many countries, especially in China. Almost all the politicians in China are admired and respected by the public. People have a sense of fear towards the politicians. However, the situation has changed a lot with the changing of society. Especially when the produsage era comes, an increasing number of people has the access to the internet—a rather free and personal platform to get involved into the outside world, thus, the politicians have to take the internet into consideration and cannot ignore the power of internet anymore. Not only some western countries like Australia or America, but also the typical eastern country, China, has seen a serious of change in the way Chinese politicians using social media. In my opinion, Chinese politicians are using the social media in a more wise and correct way.

In the past, Chinese politicians always gave people a mysterious impression. People read about them from the newspaper, and saw them through the TV news. The common people in China had few opportunities to have some face to face communication with the politicians. That is partly because the traditional social media in China, like newspaper and television, cannot offer the platform for the public to have close contact with the politicians. However, the appearance of internet in China gives Chinese politicians the possibility to have more contact and interaction with the Chinese citizens. Take the main Chinese politicians as an example, in 2008, Chinese chairman Hu Jintao had a video chat with Chinese netizen and in 2009, Chinese premier Wen Jiabao had another video chat with Chinese netizen. A report on BBC website (Chinese version) said that, “this kind of close-communication between state leaders and the civilians is very rare even in the western countries, and there is no other country in the world can be comparable to China in having such communications in less than one year.”

（Chinese chairman Hu Jintao is having the video chat with the Chinese netizens)

I have to say that social media now plays a very important role in China, especially the internet. The internet is not only a useful channel for the yong people in China to learn about the politics, but also a good tool for Chinese people to “supervise” Chinese politicians.

On the one hand, the Chinese young people learn a lot about the politics through the internet. Almost all of my classmates in China have read the Barack Obama’s Inaugural Address or seen the related video online. Since the internet is very popular among Chinese young adults, more and more Chinese young adults use the internet to learn about current affairs both at home and aboard.  This is good for both the Chinese politicians and the young adults. The Chinese politicians can use the internet to reach a wider audience, especially listen to the young citizens, and the young people in China can know what their government is doing and build up their sense of being the master of the country by being involved into the politics. For example, Zhou Jiugeng, one of the main politicians in Nan Jing, was found of receiving bribes by Chinese netizens and then was justly punished for his crimes.

On the other hand, since most people in China has the access to the internet whenever and wherever they are, the information can be spread very quickly online. As long as someone posts a message about some deeds of the government on the internet, the whole nation has the possibility to see it. Therefore, the politicians have to be very careful about what they have said and done. The internet, to some degree, can be used as a powerful tool to censor the government.

As long as I see, the relationship between politics and social media is hard to express. The social media can be used as a tool to censorship the citizen and can also be used as a channel for the citizen to learn about the whole world and in this way urge the politicians to keep the transparency of their work and make more effort in doing their work well. In this way, the social media is been used in a positive way to urge the politicians to behave well and make contributions to the nation.

Editor, Designer, Writer, Director… You can be ALL of them!

Thanks to the internet, the whole world is open to all the people. Common people can make use of the academic knowledge and the high-technoledge they have to try to accomplish some tasks that used to be impossible for them. everyone can post their ideas online and write a piece of blog to express his own idea on certain issues—to be a critic; everyone can make a micro movie and put it on YouTube—to be a director; everyone can add his knowledge to the items listed on Wikipedia—to be an editor…Examples are endless, and this is what is called as “PRODUSAGE”. And we have the reason to believe that we have been in a YOU AGE!

In the past, the production chain is simple and single: producer, distributor and consumer, those three elements make up the whole process of production in the industrial society. The consumers in the past were the receiver at the end of the production chain. However, things changed a lot in today’s society. The consumers are not the end of the production, but a very important step in the production, even the beginning of the production in some cases. Just like Axel Bruns (the author of the book, Blogs, Wikipedia, Second Life, and Beyond: From Production to Produsage,) introduces it, produsage is a kind of user-lead content creation exists in this web2.0 era.What we were in the past:

   What we are now:

(PRODUSAGE.org  http://produsage.org/produsage)

Just a few days ago, one of my Chinese friends (now he is studying English in America) told me about his amazing idea--“I am going to make a movie about the difficult pronunciation in English for Chinese people, and I think that will be a hit.” I call it amazing because I was amazed by his idea—“do you find a company to support you in making the movie?” I was curious, because I thought he had to get some support from certain company, or at least hire some people to make a team to produce a movie. “No, it’s just me and another two boys. We three will make a movie and then put it on YouTube. That’s it!” that was the answer I got at last. Well, he was telling the truth, making movie today is no longer an extremely complex work as people thought before. With the help of a laptop and the popularity of YouTube, everyone can be a director.

Unlike the newspaper and magazines that once published then cannot be changed, Wikipedia can be updated whenever and wherever you are, as long as you have some new resources. The same with the YouTube, instead of waiting for months even years for a now movie to be seen, common people can just post a simple video online to let the whole world see what is happening. The blog helps a lot in letting the common people have a platform to speak out their own thoughts without being examined by the “professional” editors.  

Now we are in the produsage era and enjoying the advantages brought by it. We are freer to express our own opinion and have more channels to see the real world instead of being led by the mainstream media. This doesn’t mean that we are not creative anymore; on the contrary, we have to be very creative so that we can make something new by using the existing resources.Although the produsage does have some limitations, such as the spread of unreal information or rumor, I do believe that the common people like me can benefit a lot from the produsage era.

The Secrets about the Website that Reveal Secrets…

    One of my friends has told me that it seemed like everyone was fascinated about gossip, and I think that is definitely true. Actually, people are especially curious about the “gossip” of the mysterious person and the government. Now, people can satisfy their curiosity to some degree by having a look at the secret government documents thanks to a website established by an Australian man in 2006 which aims at bringing the government of countries all over the world to light. That man is Julian Assange and the website is wikileaks. Thousands of people view wikileaks as an excellent website because it gives the common people a chance to learn more about the mysterious and serious government. However, because of curiosity, I have some questions about this new type of website, and I want to know the secrets about this secret-reveal website.

                                                  

     My first question is about one interesting phenomenon I found on wikileaks. When I looking at the wikileaks, I think that the truth it talks about different governments seems has different focuses. For example, many of its reports about China focuses on China’s censorship over the internet, while the articles about Japan talk a lot about ACTA and there are more articles about 9/11 and Iraq war in the category of United States. Maybe it is hard for one website alone to find out all the secrets that the public want to know or may be the authors are more interested in those topics. But I am still curious that whether it is that wikileaks has its own preferences or it has chosen some topics on purpose. I want someone to tell me the secrets about the wikileaks’ topics.

    What comes from my first question is my second question—should we believe all that the wikileaks says, or is it really telling the truth? Since I come from China, I know that the public cannot get connect to some foreign websites and some software are unavailable in china neither. But I am still wondering why wiki leaks focusing on making a list of the Chinese government state TV censorship. And “Green Dam”, the name of content-control software for Windows appears a lot in the articles under China category. I don’t think it is wikileaks‘priority to analyze the technology the green dam uses. By looking at the “popular China related articles”, I find that there are 5 titles mention about “censorship” among the total 12 titles. After reading the list the wikileaks made about the information that is forbidden on TV state, I found that they mainly centering on the Falun Gong meditation movement, Tibet, and some political leaders. Although I understand why the Chinese government forbids these topics in China, (because some of them are not totally true and may cause a spread of murmur among the Chinese citizens), there are still many a people don’t understand the reason why the Chinese government doesn’t give freedom to these messages. Therefore, I think wikileaks should try to find out the reason why some keywords, some messages are forbidden on the internet or TV in China, rather than just make a list of some words. If wikileaks aims at unmarking the lies in this duplicitous and complicated world, it should dig deep enough to find out the truth instead of looking at the surface. I cannot keep myself from wondering whether wikileaks really wants to find out the truth or it just wants to make some bad impression about some countries.

     It is true that wikileaks does open a door for the common people to learn more about their government and it does have some effect on urging the government to behave well and do their work more efficiently. I also agree that wikileaks does give me a lot of information that I didn’t know before and I do think it is a useful and valuable tool to some degree. It is just that I think we should view everything objectively and think more about them and have our own thoughts about everything.

Say NO to Extremism

When talking about the extremists, what is the first thing come into your mind? The yelling people, the cruelty riot, the crazy parade or the suicide bomb? It is true that people all have the right to speak out their opinions in the way they like, however, it is not right that what you do bother other people’s normal life or even threaten their personal and property security . As for extremists, it is not only about the common people’s daily life that they may disturb, but also lives of other people are threatened. We call them extremists, because they do something extremely and always in a negative way. Below is an example of the riot done by some extremist in China.

                                     

     This is a picture posted online about the July 2009 Ürümqi riots happened in XinJiang province in China.  It is reported that a total of 197 people died, with 1,721 others injured and many vehicles and buildings destroyed during the riot, and here is the link about the riot on Wikipedia:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/July_2009_%C3%9Cr%C3%BCmqi_riots.

The riot was incited by the ethnic separatist--Rabiye Qadir, the President of theWorld Uyghur Congress, while even her own children cannot agree with what their mother had done. I cannot agree with any kind of violent no matter what kind of reason it has. Although people all have the freedom to express their own opinions, they should not threaten the safety of other’s life and property, especially those innocent people.

Rebiya Kadeer's daughter, sons, brother speak out for the first time about July 5 Xinjiang riot and showed their disagreement with Rebiya Kadeer's deed on 5^th July.
What surprised me most about this riot is that the extremists got together and plotted the riot through the website and the instant communicating tools, such as QQ. I was shocked when I heard that the extremists used QQ to communicate with each other and plot the riot through it, because QQ is such a popular instant communicating online tool in China that almost every young people has a QQ account and contact with their friends and families on line. A research showed that there are 29 million active QQ users all over China.(http://uir.blog.hexun.com/11819872_d.html) It is hard for me to imagine that what will happen if that violent information had been spread by the extremists to the young people. Just as Mr. Raspal Khosa said,the internet is a powerful tool for extremists to radicalize vulnerable individuals and potentially recruit them to violence. (ASPI ,http://www.aspi.org.au/research/spf.aspx?tid=9  24th February, 2011). 

That causes me to think about the use of internet among the public. Lots of the extremist groups have their own websites and everyone can get access to the websites wherever they are in the world.The problem is that what can we do to prevent the spread of the violent information online. The internet is the most popular media among the Chinese young people. On the other hand, I think the internet is the most dangerous media, because people don’t have to be responsible for the things they publish online or ensure the reliability or accuracy of the content. A number of people just put up whatever they like and sometimes the information they spread online is nothing but rumors. Some people may vent and express their frustration by writing down some extreme comments towards the government or society. The young people, especially children and teenagers, they have no ability to tell right from wrong and they are so naïve that easily to be misled by the information they see online.

Some people hold such an opinion that it is the government’s obligation to keep the internet function well and make sure the online environment online is safe and reliable. However it is very hard for the government to counter the insidious extremists groups on its own. From my perspective, the right thing to do is to help the internet users to have the ability to make their own judgments about the issues published online rather than believe whatever they see online or whatever other people say. Having their own beliefs and values is a very essential skill for the young people, and the most effective way to get to that purpose is education. In the recent years, many primary school and high school have some special classes called “my first class” at the very beginning of the semester. In those classes, the teacher will talk about how to keep yourself safe if some emergency happens, like an earthquake or fire, as well as some basic knowledge of protecting your personal information while using the internet. With the popularity of the internet, more and more young people are using the internet quite often. I remember that when I was in my secondary school, my Chinese teacher had spent a whole class telling us about the underlying threaten of using the internet. Our teacher told us a lot of skills about how to keep our personal information safe, for example, using the birthday of your friends or parents is a better choice than always use your birthday as your password, and do not easily trust the information like “you are the lucky customer of certain product”, which is always used to cheat for money. I think education should be keep in touch with the time and the teacher should teach the students not only the theories, but also some practical knowledge used in the daily life. Because a lot of people form their values when they are teenagers, it is very important and useful if the teachers and parents help the kids to set up the right opinions toward the internet.

The internet can be both a positive and negative tool for netizens, and we should pay extra attention when children are using the internet. People always say that the children are the future of the world and we should instruct them to the right direction. We cannot stop the extremists posting online, but we can help our kids to keep away from the violent information and make their own decisions.

Want To Be Noticed? Using Twitter!

When being asked about twitter, people always feel surprised at the magical power of it that so many people are using twitter nowadays and it is more than just a social web for many people. People send short messages about their daily life on twitter’s web site. Friends and families can know what you are doing at the moment with the help of twitter. Even the strangers can get some information of you if they are interested in you and choose to follow you. Because of the popularity of twitter, people can use it as a channel to speak out their opinions as well as a platform to perfome and become noticed.

Many people argue that twitter makes friends become strangers in some way—in the same way that people criticize the internet. However, the twitter does give people, especially the common people a sense of being noticed—with so many followers and many of them are even strangers. Just as that article said, twitter has become an important marketing tool for celebrities, politicians and businesses, promising a level of intimacy never before approached online, as well as giving the public the ability to speak directly to people and institutions once comfortably on a pedestal. (Twitter, New York Times.http://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/business/companies/twitter/index.html)                

First, in my opinion, the reason why the twitter is so popular partly is that it can give the common people a sense of satisfaction and pleasure as being noticed as the celebrities. It is quite understandable that people all want to draw others’ attention and become the star of a certain group. In the past, it was only the celebrities can afford the money to make themselves famous and known to the public. However, the appearance of twitter enables the common people to publish their sayings on the internet and get access to a broader audience. Twitter provide a channel for the common people to make their voice being heard and makes it possible for more people to be involved in many serious issues, such as the important role twitter played in the Egyptian Revolution. There are some links about the Egyptian Revolution:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqHPRHOHcN8; http://www.fastcompany.com/1727466/exactly-what-role-did-social-media-play-in-the-egyptian-revolution

 Second, with the help of social media, it is much easier now for people to stand out in the group. Twitter is just one example of the convenience the internet brings to us. It is said that most twitter users (45 percent) were 18 to 34 years old. 24 percent of Twitterati were 35 to 49 years old, and 14 percent were 50 years and up, with 14 percent ages 13 to 17 (— from Cross, M. 2011. ‘Twitter World’ in Bloggerati, Twitterati: how blogs and twitter are transforming popular culture, Praeger P 54). So both young and old people are using twitter nowadays. As long as you are popular on twitter, it is very easy for people to know you, since the range of the users is so broad. Just clicking the keyboard several times and people can send a message to the public. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UFsJhYBxzY&feature=relmfu

Twitter, faster than earthquakes:

 Third, the reason why twitter is so popular is that it narrows down the gap between the common people and the celebrities. First of all, the common people can post their thoughts on the internet and make the whole world know about them. Second, the twitter makes it easy for people to communicate with the celebrities, as more and more celebrities have their own twitters, the public can receive the messages from their favorite pop-stars immediately.

All in all, twitter opens a platform for people to send short messages to the public and receive a kind of satisfaction from the followers. By satisfying people’s will to be noticed, twitter hits its successes over the night.

                                               

Here is an article I found on the internet about twitter. Maybe you can find more information from it:
