Group Presentation: Here Comes Everybody

     Today being the first day for our book panel review for class and there were two different groups presenting and each analyzing a different book. The first group up was assigned the book here comes everybody by Clay Shirk. This was something totally different than what we have been doing in class but making this a little different made the class more engaging.  Having a group analyzing the book gives you more of an opportunity to have more questions about the main point they picked up from this book and also arise some points that the group might be able to elaborate a little more on. The book here comes everybody is has some very interesting points, as mention in class by the first group that we are from a world where media is mainly to provide information evolving to a world where media has been drastically changing. 

As the internet is quickly changing and shaping the way we are interacting with one another change media to a cite where people are allowed to collaborate, share information and ultimately be able to work together I a collaborative way. This book is also showing how social media is different than podcasting media. Currently in the 21 century are at the stage where media is all around us and is being used for many attributes to help humans make their life easier all around. Know this brings a very important point, you know the saying about finding information online “don’t trust the internet” this is due to the fact of one of the theory’s this book arises. For example, it is very easy to share information on websites for example YouTube and nabster. There are also examples where people come together and build things together such as Wikipedia or Lenox, but this doesn’t always mean that the information given by other users is correct. One of the things this group also mentions is that this will give the ability for people to take action in the world sometimes this is politically actions and sometimes it could be economical actions taking action as a group no just individuals. But my question is, is media really used for such things or is this switching as media evolves.
