Our Content Nation

People nowadays can't live without internet, without this invisible interaction because they're everywhere.

In China, there is a website just like Facebook, which is called "RenRen" net. It is, according to "Content Nation", "a social-network punlishing". Once you input your personal information, you can track down your friends, your schoolmates, your ex-schoolmates, and even someone whom you've never met but have some special connections with you. "It enables people to build and use relationships with others". I felt so excited when someone I have lost contact with for a long time became my friend again, through RenRen Net. Do you have the same feeling?




Here is the website of the Chinese version of Facebook. Welcome to check it out~

Another amazing function of social media is Personal markets. Online shopping greatly changes our living pace and style.I still can remember the first time when I buy something through the internet. I felt so nervous because I was afraid that I might be frauded or the stuff was not what I wanted. I checked out the website for thousands of times, comparing the product from one online seller to another. But nowadays, the online shopping system gets more and more mature and comprehensive. We feel safe and convenient to buy stuffs before we actually see and touch them, before we talk to the seller face to face.

"Social media's influence may be broad or narrow, long or short,but it's value almost always benefits more from people who want to be ahead of other people than from those who are trying to catch up with others."

The function of social media is enormously powerful, and infomations we get indeed do us a great favor, but sometimes they can be wrong and mislead us. That's why we also need to discriminate and discern right from wrong.
