Further thoughts

4.  Compare and contrast how two different communities or social groups use a specific social media platform. Which of the two groups has more to gain from it and why? 
Each social media are design for different purpose, base on what you need to use/find to pick the right one to use. By what it means for example, the most popular social media is "Facebook"; it is an online social networking site that we can communicate, share picture, videos and personal information with friends. The purpose of Facebook is to help us get closer to our friends and family by share our thoughts, picture which tells what we like/places we like to go.

To compare we can divide into different groups like age, gender, country, culture or base on their career. To see in one of the groups what they can gain for using example of Facebook. Comparing those use social media as a business site and how designer use it. How do these two group use it? what did they gain form using it?
6.  Identify a figure who is generally known to have played a major role on the internet. Evaluate if his/her contributions are justified or mythologized.    
To think of a person who play a major role, it comes with Jimmy Wales. Jimmy Wales is the creator of Wikipedia .He is the co-founder and promoter of the online non-profit encyclopedia, Wikipedia, and the for-profit Wikia web hosting company. When we need to find a basic and simple explanation of a certain person, company, or definition we usually look for Wikipedia. Wikipedia is the first site which comes when we click search, and it will give us the most detail and simplest information we need to know.
But what do we really know about Wikipedia? What is the purpose of Wikipedia? It is defines as enormous concepts in huge vector space of wiki concepts. It a speak towards  in concept which given us to more reliable links between passages. A place which connect links together with huge contain which reflect on human knowledge. So what is the  contributions of Wikipedia and Jimmy Wales?
