I find that its good to&amp;nbsp;have information flowing, but we shouldnnt believe what&amp;nbsp;news agencies have to say.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;News agencies are there for one purpose only, to promote and show up to-date feeds about&amp;nbsp;every&amp;nbsp;negative&amp;nbsp;event that is going on in our world and to promote fear. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes i said &lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Fear,&amp;nbsp; &lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;(Oh, if want to stop reading this is were you Stop, )&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Go look up any&amp;nbsp;headlines in from page&amp;nbsp;papers&amp;nbsp;of any news articles from the&amp;nbsp;Toronto Star to Reuters.. what is the common&amp;nbsp;theme?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Death, murder, Teorrism, the most common themes in the last decade, its just become unberable to even pickup a news paper to read. &lt;br /&gt;It is&amp;nbsp;the common theme to keep us oblivious and ignorant to what is really going on but whatever......&lt;br /&gt;Im not the one to argue with&amp;nbsp;news papers its what&amp;nbsp;HUMANITY WANTS, is it honestly&amp;nbsp;our nature to&amp;nbsp;read this crap day in day out, why&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The more we read the news papers the more we attract, &lt;u&gt;Law of attraction&lt;/u&gt;, you give as much energy and thoughts&amp;nbsp;to whatever we want and as&amp;nbsp;much to the the stuff we dont want. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let me give you an example:&amp;nbsp; Rumors of a stock market crash&amp;nbsp;"&amp;nbsp;The Stock market&amp;nbsp;drops 1000 points, Companies take huge losses"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;investors insisted&amp;nbsp;with&amp;nbsp;speculation and fear which in turn&amp;nbsp;bred a train of thought that people insisted they were losing&amp;nbsp;money&amp;nbsp;and so its what people wanted , they lost money. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So let me get back to what the topic is Information and&amp;nbsp;News.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The News is bullshit, and the information given is&amp;nbsp;so corrupt, in the scheme of things&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;it is just&amp;nbsp;make the human mind&amp;nbsp;believe what they are saying is true, just remember, down the chain&amp;nbsp;in the entertainement&amp;nbsp;industry someone is&amp;nbsp;pulling the strings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and one last comment,&amp;nbsp;your life is not on Facebook&amp;nbsp;, Twitter and all that crap, it is a social network not an information hub of your personal life, watch your pictures because someone will be looking for that "big" job &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7576356501595542478-4778209623759975549?l=the-pan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the-pan.blogspot.com/feeds/4778209623759975549/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://the-pan.blogspot.com/2012/02/do-you-believe-that-social-media-has.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7576356501595542478/posts/default/4778209623759975549'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7576356501595542478/posts/default/4778209623759975549'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-pan.blogspot.com/2012/02/do-you-believe-that-social-media-has.html' title='Do you believe that social media has increased the quality of news and information or decreased it.'/><author><name>The Pan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05498926376167384951</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7576356501595542478.post-2915071023590396722</id><published>2012-01-13T06:42:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-13T06:42:43.070-08:00</updated><title type='text'>What is your perception of social media, do you think it is a fad or the biggest shift since the Industrial Revolution?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;The relative question is why is social media such a heightened subject to-day? Social media is now the backbone for information gathering on all branches to finding out who people are, what they are like, what are peoples interest, basically social networks are the information and advertising HUBs on the 21th century, it is a part of our life’s now as it distinguishes everything about us, for as long we have access to a PC we will continue to modernize and “update” our information. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;Is it a social trend or media revolution? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;That is a very very though opinion and question in today’s society because about 2/3 of the world’s population uses internet, social media, and other internet related search firms and engines to look for news, products, services, games, ratings, reviews, opinions, it is simply a massive social trend that it impacts billions of people and business worldwide. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;As for myself I am a user, I tend to have some harsh opinions that you shouldn’t put everything online, you shouldn’t consider having your life, your experiences “discussed” online. To be fair to social media, more and more people starting relationships met online, everything that has to do with global markets, a global catastrophe, we as people impact it so much. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;A few crises that were apparent were the Earthquake in Haiti, and the Tsunami that hit Japan and damaging the Fukishima nuclear power plant and the Egyptian Revolution.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;After the Earthquake in Haiti, Facebook postings had littered the network with Red Cross relief funds, helping rebuild Haiti. In the apparent circumstances, whenever a crisis hits, information is poured in by the millions in articles websites and news stories, and people trying to be the first ones to distribute their opinions and knowledge to a huge community of Need to knows. During the Egyptian revolution Facebook was the Engine that drived this revolution from happening, an apparent group of people wanting to be liberated from a dictatorship and totalitarian control, same as in Libya and now in Syria, a Revolution that sparked a ripple effect in 3 Government controlled countries, 1 is being resolved, 1 recovering from civil war and 1 of the verge of being overthrown due to in humanitarian actions. &lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;So for a recap, Social media is good and bad at the same time, it’s good to have information but from what I learned, the more people give their attention to something negative the more it will tend to lapse in harsher circumstances. It is good to know what is offered now a days in products and services, what people are advertising,&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;but who really needs to have their life and information being posted&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;consumed by being online Facebook, Twitter, ECT. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;This is my opinion, my political views and social beliefs. &lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7576356501595542478-2915071023590396722?l=the-pan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the-pan.blogspot.com/feeds/2915071023590396722/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://the-pan.blogspot.com/2012/01/what-is-your-perception-of-social-media.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7576356501595542478/posts/default/2915071023590396722'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7576356501595542478/posts/default/2915071023590396722'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-pan.blogspot.com/2012/01/what-is-your-perception-of-social-media.html' title='What is your perception of social media, do you think it is a fad or the biggest shift since the Industrial Revolution?'/><author><name>The Pan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05498926376167384951</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7576356501595542478.post-97465682455552312</id><published>2012-01-06T06:49:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-06T06:49:53.751-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;img class="sg_t" src="http://ts1.mm.bing.net/images/thumbnail.aspx?q=1517266083144&amp;amp;id=3e94ece26b6a4e6197c18df7ae826534&amp;amp;url=http%3a%2f%2fapi.ning.com%2ffiles%2fhFgDvxXagLqJDu*F9smmGlKY9Gfq*nQXp86if2*XMB8wMe*CWRn96TqKE9uCf6WEWylgRmJo1*mCd0gm8yaPlO5Ztz--EgQA%2f633771303881996495motivation.jpg" style="left: 13px; width: 109px;" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nothing like having 3 chinese in a "motivational" picture to post as a blog &lt;br /&gt;:D&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7576356501595542478-97465682455552312?l=the-pan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the-pan.blogspot.com/feeds/97465682455552312/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://the-pan.blogspot.com/2012/01/nothing-like-having-3-chinese-in.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7576356501595542478/posts/default/97465682455552312'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7576356501595542478/posts/default/97465682455552312'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-pan.blogspot.com/2012/01/nothing-like-having-3-chinese-in.html' title=''/><author><name>The Pan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05498926376167384951</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
