Economies in Networking Citizens

The world now has change from based-working environment into network or flexible working environment. People nowadays are very concern about their working place and will looking for a good environment to work. Because of this, many companies do some reformation at their work place. One of the transformations is allow the employee to work at their own house by introducing the online working system.

As the technology is improving from time to time, these symptoms make the job to be carried out more easily. The advance of technology today is no longer work by itself anymore. The rapid growth of technology make our life more easier and also become important to our life as we can access to internet anytime and everywhere as long there is a WIFI connection by using the notebook. We can access to internet to do anything as we want example like for social networking, surf information, make our business online, and know the latest promotion and so on.

For the past few years we all are talking about e-business, online banking, online shopping, and even the online checking. The creation of social networking site like Facebook enable people got a new direction and idea to run their business. As we know Social networking is the communicating tool for us, it allows us to communicating with peoples around the world. We can know new friend, find our old friends over there, and get to know our friends latest update by read the information and see their photo. It is all about the sharing and informing among friends.

The advantages of social networking are they provide good advertising tools for the peoples who want to start their business. Some people might have some professional skills for making some product like handmade beg or hand drawing shoes, T-shirt, photo and so on. Now they can do their small business by creating a fan pages about the product on Facebook without any payment. Facebook now is not only for the socializing, but also the tools that help small business to promote or spread the news of promotion and others with the lowest budget.

With the advantages of this social networking site, many large business firm also use this golden opportunities to keep in touch with customer. The other benefit is the company can save a large amount of money that used for advertising in the media example like TV, radio, newspaper, magazine and so on. If the company hired the employee that work with advance technology like circuit engineer, they might need to train the staff and this will enable them to work at any place even at their own house with effective result. The moral value must also be requiring by the manager or CEO when they talk to their staff. In this world, if you want people to respect you, first of all you need to respect other people and this moral value which is toleration definitely help us when we are working in the future.

As the conclusion, I realize that online buying will increase rapidly in the future as there are more advantages than disadvantages and people nowadays should learn how to make purchase online. If we buy our daily things online, we will save a lot of energy, time and money. The earth will also be more to green environment as we reduce the usage of petroleum as the energy to drive a car to go to hypermarket or shopping center.

cyberspace

In this article, what I learn about is there is still a wonder space in this world, which is the cyberspace. By using the Internet, we definitely can connect with all the people in this world. But I find out that the world now is begun to sink in the aspect of the moral. Problems like war, economic crisis, corruption and so on keep coming and because of this, I realize that as a human being, we should stick to the good attitude and moral to make this world peace.

One of the points of the article that I understand is the world willing to help us if we didn't just over the limit of certain things. There are many ways to solve the problems, but first, we must be humble and do not act professional in order to become successful person.

When we are using the cyberspace, there is a few moral and attitude that we should remember to keep it in a peaceful condition. First is do not be arrogant. In cyberspace, we can do anything that we want because it is no central authorities. But we must keep in mind that do not over the board as this may lead problem to us. Second is the different culture and different rules in cyberspace. As the cyberspace connects us with the whole world, we can understand the culture of others race. When they using the cyberspace, due to their religion and culture, different of culture exist and we must not humiliate or prejudice them nor talk nonsense about other race people. Third is tolerating. If someone scolds you without reason on cyberspace, just ignore him or her to avoid conflict.

What Barlow's article trying say is that everyone are using the cyberspace and they have their right to voice out, share their happiness or emotional by using the cyberspace. We can share everything as we want and cyberspace is open for everyone. Nobody will really care what you write unless that you are well-known person in the world. In the cyberspace we have freedom to do whatever in online, sharing our true feeling, or some personal opinion that sometime we cannot say in front of the peoples that we dislike or angry but we can voice out in the cyberspace, we have our privacy to do so, whether allow or disallow people view it.

Nowadays, there are so much things can do by just sitting in front of the computer. Example like we can know the latest news, weather forecast, do online shopping instead of going to shopping center and so on. To join this cyberspace, you do not need to be some certain specific religion or race, and most important is there is no need to buy the entry fee. The basic requirement is that you must know how to use computer with the internet connection. There is no time limit for visiting to cyberspace as long as you have the connection and may access to cyberspace anytime as you like. The cyberspace can be your good friend by voice out the opinion and feeling without any restriction, without any rule and regulation. By this, we must appreciate the advance of the technology today.

“A Short History of the Internet”

First of all, after I had read the article “A Short History of the Internet” by Bruce Sterling, I feel that the Internet that we used today is not original being created for us to use but is to allow the authorities to contact with each other after the nuclear war. This is because when the wars start, the enemies will focus their attack on the communication center to avoid the base to contact with the army at the battlefield. After the study and development of the technology, the US governments start to allow the usage of Internet.

When the people are joining this network for non-stop, the Internet is replace the ARPANET. By using the Internet, many people can read the news and personal messages. Researchers were using Internet to work on projects, trade notes on work, and eventually to downright gossip and schmooze. People had their own personal user account and e-mail addresses for electronic mail which make them easy to contact with the people around the world.

In my opinion, I feel that Internet is become popular and may break the record into trillion users in the future because it is a freedom place. We can know the news, gossips, commercial promotion faster and accurate then the old style fashion. Sometimes, if we write out our feel about our country condition example like corruption on Internet, we will not being sued by the law. This is because even government of certain country also scares the Internet as the news of their scandal will spread over the world.

In the world of business, definitely the businessman will not reject the Internet as it is a tool to help them carry out their business. As we all know, the notebook nowadays is very cheap and we can get one for around one thousand to two thousand ringgit. If businessmen want to order stock from foreign country, he would not take flight to that country just for order the stock. They just use the Internet to contact the supplier and thus can get the clearly information of the price, details and picture of the stock.

The webcam on the notebook also allow us to chat by looking our friend through the computer. This function also helps the CEO or manager of the company to discuss the issue face by the company with other management level leader throughout the world. File transfer also enable the people to get information that they want within few second.

In the future, I feel that the usage of Internet will increase with the fastest rate. With the networks, we are no longer separate entities living in this world. We all are part of a big contribution towards the advancement of these networks and we are free to use it for our own uses and according to our own values and stands.

The 9 things for an effective blog posting

Blogging is a very new and fresh experience for me as I never blog and tweet before this. Through the article Nine Signs of an Effective Blog Post, i have some idea what is blog about and how does it influence the peoples around. Blogging has become more and more popular as it becomes a trend of the media.

1. Headline

Headline is the most important thing to attract the readers to read the content of an article. It is like the soul of the body, a boring and common headline is not going to attract the readers and therefore the news or information written is not going to spread out widely.

2. The content

The details got to be simple and interesting to capture the audiences' attention. Pictures or comic are the common way to attract reader as the peoples are not really interested to read a thousands words of article which is without any images.

3. Introduction

The opening part of the blog should be able to lead the reader into the content as simple as it should. Long and complicated introduction will kill the interest of the readers and therefore it reduces the amount of the readers. Introduction of the article is like an appearance of the food.

4. background

Background plays an important role that it catches the eyes of the readers, the design, the layout and some tiny details are the deciding the readers to finish the articles or quit. A good background will make the readers stay while the bad one will distract the readers' attention.

5. Sequence

We got to arrange our own chapters in order to let the readers digest it properly. In an example, we got to consume appetizer before the main course, dessert after that. Sequence is important because if u serve dessert, main course, appetizer and drinks randomly, I'm sure the guy is going to get confuse what is he consuming so do our readers. They feel confuse and they don't really receive the information they are looking for. Therefore, it creates another failure.

6. Persuasive

To build a successful blog, you first need to be persuasive enough for your followers. How do you get to be persuasive in order to convince your readers that what you think and you did were right and good enough for them to learn. Well, you got to be confidence, loaded of the information, convincing and equipped your blog with some concrete details. When you there is a will, there is a way.

7. Interesting post

How can i create an interesting post to attract the peoples? Very good question. Innovation, writing skill and the way you express yourself. These factors are going to build you a very different blog and attract more peoples to view it. When everybody is talking about food, you got to express your thinking and feeling in a different way, exaggerate your point, change the way you write with the others and there you are going to see a changes in your blog.

8. confidence level

even though your topic is awesome, you need to make the readers believe on what you say. Blog is not a science fiction novel but it reflects a blogger diary. Nobody is willing to read a blog that is full of lies and the imagination of the author.

9. The influence


Last but not least, if your blog successfully captured the attention of the crowd, remember that you are playing an important role to inspire your followers. A blogger got to be creative to has his own style in order to attract the readers to come back to read the next blog of the author.
