The Facebook Effect
Facebook's Impact: A Return to Neighborly Communication
"The world historically was a world of villages and small towns," he says. "In a village you hear everybody's business."
But in recent history, more people are now living in big urban cities and not in small towns, he notes.
"Isn't it interesting that at exactly that moment, the most popular software ever invented for communications is one that creates that 'over the backyard fence quality' of the small town?" Kirkpatrick says. "I think people are living in cities and they want to know about people and Facebook makes it easier."
In 2010 Americans spent an average of 25 minutes a day on Facebook, according to comScore. More than 125 billion people had made connections on the social media site by the end of March 2012. In the first month of this year, users uploaded more than 300 million photos per day on Facebook.
"I think it has changed the way people relate to one another," Kirkpatrick says. "It has changed the visibility people have into one another's lives [and] you know everything your neighbors do."
Facebook's Impact: A Driver for Democracy
With roughly 80% of Facebook's monthly users located outside the U.S. and Canada, it is no huge surprise that Facebook is responsible for sparking the uprisings in the Middle East at the beginning of 2011, which started in Tunisia after a man selling fruits and vegetables set himself on fire in a market. He had been humiliated when police demanded him to hand over his cart for not having a permit.
His personal revolt ignited protests in Tunisia which spread to Egypt, Libya, Syria and Yemen.
"Facebook was gigantic in the Arab Spring and in every other political uprising that we have heard of in Spain and the Occupy Movement because people do not think of it as a political act," say Kirkpatrick. "[Users] just update their status on Facebook" and "their friends see it and they are broadcasting without evening knowing it."
In 2009, a video showing the death of a young female Iranian protester, named Neda, shot by a government gunman gripped the world. The video went viral with the help of Facebook and other social media networks.
Facebook's Impact: Makes Sharing Media Content Easy
Facebook has forever changed the way people share media content with their friends — almost every site today has a "like" button for users to share content.
"The media recognized that if they do not have the ability to make it easy for people to share their content on Facebook, they are going to be in trouble," says Kirkpatrick.
An average of 3.2 billion "likes" and "comments" were generated every day in the first three months of the year.

Idea:
Facebook culture may be fatal
Generation Y and facebook. Started as college students facebook were filled with a lot of private lifestyle stuffs, but facebook doesnt follow the growth of human being! Gen Y graduates eventually got a job and turned to privacy of facebook account but after years of being tagged it is really hard to hide their past from curious colleagues.
Initially, facebook were a free gift, users are free to vusualize express a
nd expand but latter turned into profit. Ads and commercialized facebook trying to take back these gifts by invading privacy and rediculous terms.
Giving economic value to social networks is the new holy grail in advertising and the media. An army of economists and mathematicians are at work on this task. To date, most of the work has focused on metrics — how many friends, how many linkages, how much influence. Facebook's problems with privacy highlight the need to understand culture as well.

- It is taking back a free gift. In order to build profits, Facebook has been commercializing and monetizing friendship networks. What Facebook gave to Millennials, it is now trying to take away. Millennials are resisting the invasion to their privacy.
- Facebook is ignoring the aging of the Millennials and the subsequent change in their culture. Older Gen Yers want less sociability and more privacy as actors outside their trusted cohort enter the Facebook space in search of information and connection. These older Millennials want more privacy tools for control of their information and networks.

Digital Culture by Charlie Gere
Chapter 7. Ignore warning
Transformation
of media brought about by new technology are transforming how we think about
ourselves. We are no longerpassive consumers but actively producers.
How we
consume media, new technology are changing our relation to media in a profound
and radical way.
Infinite
shelf space (example iTunes)
many downloads available in just one site, multifarious ways objects such as tunes can occupy dimensions can be found and reppropriated. Selling a large number of things, online-commerce. Invert traditional form of the market.

Anarchism,
people control on their own media instead of being controlled by it.
Forms of
new media affecting the older mainstream media, broadcast are accompanied by
web page links. Encouraged to broadcast themselves to be visible.
Browsing,
explorative and voyeuristic, individual pages are encouraged to be customized.
Users of
social network not bounded by physical location but united through shared
interest with the new self-definition by media.
“in the
future Everybody will be famous for fifteen minutes” Andy Warhol.
Entering a
new ”participatory culture” of greater cooperation or solidarity, or
alternatively our digital culture runs the risk of producing a pandemonium of
competing media noise, self-promotion and meaningless disembodied interaction,
in an increasingly atomized society.
We are
bound together but separated by the globalized network of information
communication technologies.
Rewriting
the term of “friendship” , politics of friendship. New conception between self, and other and
new understanding of community.
