  | Are you doing well in your online community? | Aug 6, 2007 |
Are you doing well in your online community? By Art Tibaldo We are living in a world of constant communication. Nowadays, we see tremendous changes in the way we communicate. More and more people are getting used to multi-tasking activities just to cope up with the demands of a fast growing society. Words are being abbreviated and computer keyboards may soon be replaced with touch sensitive screens. Technology has helped mankind produce results at a faster rate and speed has become a gauge of efficiency and basis for compliance. We came to realize that more than forty years have already passed since man first stepped on the moon and established communication satellites in space. So, are you doing well with your online community? I once wrote a blog about living in a physical and digital world noting that in a digital world, access to such information tools and infrastructures like the internet is necessary in order to exist and navigate in the virtual world. In a physical world, we use brain power and physical prowess to go about our day-to-day challenges and tasks including connecting to people. In a digital world, we employ artificial intelligence to make things a lot easier for us. Engineers use global positioning systems to measure lengths, heights and distances. Some parents use tracking devices to monitor the whereabouts of their children. Surgeons use laser beams and fiber optics to visualize internal organs for precision cutting. War combatants monitor enemies using satellite feeds and attack with unmanned aircrafts. When 19-year-old Jennifer Ringley installed a webcam in her college dorm room sometime in 1996 and streamed a video of her in www.jennicam.com, the global portal was never the same again. Web logs (blogs), social networks and chat rooms democratized the use of the global portal and more netizens are now getting hooked into the world-wide-web by the minute. E-mail, e-commerce, e-learning and even online classes have changed the way we communicate and relate with others. Thousands of Jobs were created as a result of this trend and use new media and we see young people working as contact agents, programmers, graphics and digital animators. With all these jazz about interconnectivity that brings about easy access to people and places, we should likewise take extra precautions and be on alert to some glitches and technology downturns created by unscrupulous individuals who coexists in this level playing ground. The growing popularity of social networks such as Facebook, Twitter and Skype as an alternative media has in fact created a stir in the global community that even Russian officials would like to limit Internet access to stave off potential protests in their upcoming presidential election. The Russian government commission on technology berated that the uncontrolled use of these services could lead to a large-scale threat to Russian security. In a digital environment, a blogger or a pseudo journalist may not declare his or her true identity and can even claim to be somebody else who is influential in the community. Knowing the real identity of a blogger who does not want to be known can only lead to futility. Recently, a male Facebook friend of mine was surprised to learn that he was declared as the spouse of another FB user. He wrote “OMG!...i just saw it!...i'm married to another person that i didn't know about!..who the F?!!! please lang, pakipailitan ang status mo....baka ma charge ako ng concubinage!..hahaha..wow talaga!a”. In the internet community, such information or allegation is common but this can sometimes be damaging especially when it mentions sensitive matters such as personal relations, partners or even children. Messages from blog posts can likewise be educational and photo uploads can be entertaining but one blogger cautions “never give your secret to any one because if you can't keep it to yourself, don't expect others to.” In Baguio, there are netizens who hide their personalities behind usernames and they act as if they are the conscience of the community. There are also regular FB users like Anthony de Leon who does not hide his identity but often connect with his friends giving updates of what he is into from time to time. De Leon even quoted Apple’s Steve Jobs… “Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma which is living with the result of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others opinions drown out your inner voice. And most important…have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
