What does it mean to network using social media?

Network has huge impact on people’s daily life, and we received a lot of information form internet. In my opinion, network makes everything become closer, and it seems like become major connection between our families, friends, classmates. Social media provide a platform which makes everyone can receive all kind of information from different area even from other people’s hand. The combination of social media and network becomes the major platform of information exchange.

How are we motivated to participate in networked publics?  

Network publics is a double edge sword. The key of keeping network environment clean is to avoid fake news and posts. Those fake news can lead people’s mind into a wrong position which can encourage people to make mistakes in the real life. We should use networked as platform to pass positive energy.

What are the risks & rewards of public communications?

Again, public communications can be use as platform of fake news to spread. It will mislead people’s mind, and it can create troublous activities in our real life. For example, many news was reported that coronavirus is kind of flu and it will disappear anytime soon. Those kind of new made a huge health crisis around world. However, there are many rewards as well if we use network in a right way.
