The Facebook Dilemma: Brad Parscale

While reading “Facebook isn’t making us Lonely” and “Is Facebook making us lonely?” I found a lot that I could compare. This topic has came up a lot in my life because I guess you could say that, I grew up with Facebook. Over the years I have watched Facebook develop into this huge social platform and I have seen the good and the bad side of it. The good side of Facebook is that you can stay connected with people as far around the world as you would like. That was the main focus on Facebook when it first came out, was to stay connected but now you can do so much as send out invitations and sell items on it. There was an example from Marche and he wrote “When the telephone arrived, people stopped knocking on their neighbors’ doors.” I agree with this statement but then Fischer replied with “When the telephone arrived, people didn’t stop knocking on their neighbors’ doors; they called and then knocked,” which is also true. It’s practically saying that once Facebook became a thing people no longer call and people no longer knock on the door and I agree with that. It is hard to decide if Facebook is making us lonely or if it isn’t because sometimes I do think that it can make you lonely, but are you actually lonely when you are on the web, isn’t it your choice?

SUMMARY:

Henry Jenkins on transmedia and Henry Jenkins interview short has some similarities. The similarities are that they both are talking about media and how to operate the media sites and realize was is true and what is not. There are differences in-between two the videos because there is a product that you have but then there is also a process that there has to be use while being applied to media. There are new changes in the technical, industrial, cultural and social and they continue to grow throughout media. In the videos it is saying that this world is changing so much and media is coming with it. There are people that did not grow up with any of the media but today; there are people that don’t know how to live without it. In both the videos it explains how media is life changing and everyone is going to need to now how to deal with it because it is not going away. It was explained that there are people today that will go to a baseball game and not even be watching the baseball game but will be on their phone on twitter, or Facebook and then you realize while looking around the stadium that there are codes and what not for all media outlets. It is just another example of how media is going to continue to grow.
