just some thoughts:
everything is rapidly moving into such social network sites including commercial companies, celebrities, charitable organizations, social clubs etc... hence this brings me to the point that nancy (my fyp advisor) brought up during class about sustainability of the subject matter. i feel that it is a very crucial area that society has to pay attention to because this peep culture is very much embedded into the way we lead our lives now. i myself am guilty of "peeping" at others on facebook, not really to know the person more but to gain entertainment and pleasure by looking at the happenings of their lives. and this culture is very evident in the early stages when reality tv was first introduced. the idea of being a voyeur and knowing secrets about the other is so enticing and entertaining that it took the tv world by storm, and now there are countless reality television programs on air today. eg. survivor, the bachelor, america's next top model, big brother; just to name a few. however, i am not professing that facebook will last for the next decade, i am merely saying that even if facebook dies, another one of its kind with more elaborate and sophisticated functions would probably pop up. and these sites would still face the same issues altering notions of privacy, individuality, security, and even humanity as mentioned earlier in previous posts.
