Before breaking the ice on the journal written by Manuel Catells on "Afterword:Why Network Matters?" I'll be giving my opinion in relation to the question written by Manuel Castells on "Why the network society now?" As mentioned, by Castells he written on this journal, he explains there are many benefits towards networking and I fully agree with his theories and concepts he implies in this particular journal. This is because if we to look at the world today, we are interconnected with one another easily with the service provided to us which is the internet and thus enabling me to post this opinion of mine on Blogspot. Looking at network today has brought many opportunities to people for work or career, even education for people that are interested in communication courses. Without networking, there wont even be a place for many of us to be where we are today I believed.
Which comes to my topic of Network, Networking with Evolution of World Communication referring from the journal written by Castells, he has given statements that networking really does brings alot of benefits to the world. However, as technology improves as mentioned by Castells, the way networks are being done in the past and today is a whole different manner. Today networking can be done through internet whereby there are platforms of delivery such as Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, and lately Google+ which might be the next trend of networking for people in terms of socializing. For more formal occasions there are blogs, and even people can even create their own personal websites if wanted for further own preferences whereby these users can customize the page however they want. Without a doubt networking has lots of benefits to mankind today, which this world will not be able to run if not for their networks. Internet is the major networking system majority used today, it is a free service provided.
Network may help to build the world into a nicer place, but what if one day this networking brings us the opposite instead? It is easier to crush something than build. Which is why, networking is so interesting in this sense of construct and destruct.
Eg:of networks in the past went wrong Eg: of Good Networking today
