Does the development of SNS exert a beneficient influence on human's life? 

 

(SNS = Social Network Service)

 

I have negative thoughts about social network service.  A social network service refers to an application or site that enables building social networks or social relations among people, especially with those who share interests and activities. The original purpose of SNS is really good, but nowadays I think that SNS have forgotten its own purpose.

SNS is a communication space before. On the other hand, people begin to exploit SNS like commercial exploitation or purpose of crime. Crime to use SNS occasionally happen all around the world. In the case of Korea, some of the people actually use SNS to do the sexual assault. In addition, SNS users are steadily increasing, so some people use SNS to public relations.

According to National Statistical Office, they surveyed people age 6 or older  about using SNS in 2013. 67.1% of researchers make a reply that they use SNS in the past year. Above all, 35.8% of researchers use SNS during the week. 

Besides, I think SNS is unnecessary part of a person's life. SNS is totally dependent on sight of other people. When many people post speech on their own SNS, they are always aware of the way other people are looking at this.

There was created for the individual to freedom of expression, but, now a days people distorted maker's intention.  Many SNS user want recognition for others on their posting. For example, some people post a selfie on instagram, then they want to other people bum many 'like' button. To do that, they use a lot of hash tag that have nothing to do with their selfie, (For these people, there is a neologism like hashtag abuser.) In conclusion, I think the use of SNS is waste of time. Of course, reasonable utilization does not matter.

In conclusion, I think people nshould diminish the using SNS. (especially students to study) People must do day job before using SNS. People also don't need to bother other people's sight. We are the  protagonist in our life!

Production and Ownership of Knowledge

   Many people tend to think that there is no ownership of knowledge. Now, as the world enters the Information Age, so we are livng in a flood of information.Therefore, the majority of people tend to have a cheap opinon of knowledge. Copyright law has become increasingly more important. Nevertheless, it is limited to the field of art like movie, music, painting and novel. I entertain an opinion that every ownership is valued, so I want to gaurantee of ownership of knowledge.
   I think that knowledge ownership is very important thing in running a blog.When I wrote last posting about Jeju island, I quoted a passage from the book. Like this, we often used to quote other people's stories when we shold lend credibility to our own  postings. If other people cite my wiriting without source, I will very angry about that. My wirting is based on my own thoughts, because it really precious to me. Accordingly, knowledge ownership has an obligation to protect right.
