Just as we've always "tuned out" the part of the evening news we don't care about or tossed aside the Sports section if we're not interested in sports, we use social media to choose what information we need and with whom we wish to socialize.johnnynohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15448587991306866377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3743037357659188411.post-62231251217661806692014-03-13T02:09:41.300-07:002014-03-13T02:09:41.300-07:00I disagree.

It may seem like we share it differently, but that can be more attributed to the fact that technology has progressed to allow society to, instead of maybe making a phone call to a neighbor or two or even telling something about something at a bar to friends, we all have the ability to communicate with large amounts of people instantly, previously a right reserved for only the rich and powerful. With the invention of the telephone, it started a new era for humanity in which people could communicate with more people quickly over large distances(hence the term, "Shrunk the world"), so something that would normally take days to reach just one person could now be shared with hundreds in minutes. With the progression of technology since, we have simply kept to what humanity has always done well socially: gossip immensely over both facts and rumors and share news, communicating with greater efficiency and reach as time and technology progressed. Humanity as a whole hasn't changed the way we socialize, but instead embraced the environmental changes that allow it to be more prevalent. People have always shared. It just took serious advancement in social technology for people to realize just how many others they could share information with. I maintain that humans haven't changed the way they get and receive information about anything. Technology has. By simply looking at the effects of technology in the past 50 years my dear uncle, you are not taking into consideration the entire picture. We have been communicating far longer than that. Writing was the first social technological improvement. Since its invention, humans have gone from sharing things in the gather's portion of the hunter/gather groups and tribes, in which the gathers would socialize in a open forum while performing there societal duties. Writing gave the ability to catalog these social exchanges, thus creating news. Since then, all of our social instincts have arguably remained the same. I say it is because of technology that we now can reach so many people with just simple online sharing.andrew.badgerowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05342378024045067984noreply@blogger.com
