1) What are the disadvantages of online social networking that are highlighted in each video? Do you agree with their message?
ReplyDeletethe first one tell us about the way that facebook afect global warming, whereas in the second one i haven´t found a disadvantage of having different friends.in the third one the disadvantage that i could saw was that you are at rish when you accept everybody.and finally the 4th one tell us that thanks to facebook we are getting more lonely, becuase we spend less time with peolple face to face.
I agree with the 1st, 2nd and the 4th.
2) Choose one of these videos and discuss it. What do you think the point of the commercial is? Did you like it? Why (not)?
The video that i choose is the 3rd one, the aim of the commercial is to sell the product, and this commercial tell us that everybody can eat altoids, the product that is being sailed. I like it because I fell part of something and I think that everybody fell the same.
3) What are, in your opinion, the main advantages and disadvantages of social networks like facebook?
In my opinion, the advantajes are that you are in contact everytime, wherever and with everybody you want but the disadvantages are that everybody knows what are you doing everytime, and that could be very dangerous for you.
Good answers, Guadalupe
Delete1- in the first vid, the disadvantage is that to keep on with social network central office, like thhe one of facebook located in Oregon you need to produce energy (electricity). and in the case of facebook, zuckenberg choose to produce that energy by the using of coal instead of the energy from windmills, wich is more cleaner than coal one. im agree because we have to use our concience to protect the environment.
ReplyDeletein the second commercial, i couldn't find any disadventages because it's about the different kind of people and personalityies who use facebook and how they use it. may be a negative point of this vid is that there are people who share everything on facebook and sometimes it's disgusting or may be annoying.
the third one, about little red riding hood shows the disadventages of accepting unknown people as a friend on facebook and the concecuences that this problem has. im tottaly agree with this because nowadays there are people who kidnapt others using this "fake accounts" like the wolf did with little red ridding hood.
the last commercial, shows that facebook users while are using this social network, avoid the physical or personal contact between persons. so they tryied to make like a real-life facebook day.
2- i like the idea of the third one, the one of little red ridding hood. it's very creative and the message of the commercial is great. as i say in the first point above, fake accounts on facebook nowadays are very common, speccially on people who wants to boder someone or, in the worst of the cases kidnapting. like wolf wanted to do with this poor adolescent girl (little red ridding hood).
3- as far as i concern, facebook is very useful nowadays because you are in contact at everytime with your friends so sometimes it's easier to organize something or just have a conversation with people you haven't seen since a very long time. but on the other hand, social networks has it dark sides, like the commercial of little red ridding hood, or the one of the "faceday" that people sometimes spend a lot of time in fron of the computers and forget about real life!
Very clear answers. Great job!
Delete1)In the first video the disadvantage is that facebook uses coal and that polutes the air. I agree with this message but i don't think people won't use any more facebook because of it.
ReplyDeleteThe second video shows that on facebook you can find different kind of people. In my view, I don't think this comercial presents a disadvantage, only shows that people can be different, who is rigth. I agree with this message because everybody is different and we must accept it.
The thirth video show us the disadvantage that on facebook perhaps you accept everybody and also people you don't know and it's dangerous. I agree with the message of: only accept who you know.
The last video shows the disadvantage that people waste time on facebook instead of interacting with people face to face. In my concern it's a very good idea what they did in the park and it would be very fun.
2)I choosed the video of 'Little red riding mood'. In my concern the point of the comercial is not accept people you don't know on facebook because this is dangerous. Our live is private and show everything to anyone is insecurity. I liked this commercial because it uses a traditional story that everybody knows and mixes it with a very corrent issue.
3)The advantages of social networks like facebook are that you can search your things, and that you can't connect with people from all the world that perhaps you can't see face to face. The disadvatages could be,in one hand, that people don't use it correctly, for example showing everithing to everybody and in the other hand there is the people who use it to investigate things about other people and use it with bad intentions.
Well done, Mariana!
Delete1) What are the disadvantages of online social networking that are highlighted in each video? Do you agree with their message?
ReplyDeleteThe first video tell us about how facebook afect to the environment, principally how afect global warming. I didn't know that facebook use this kind of energy, but now that I know, I didn't agree with this. In the second one I haven't found any disadvantage, but on the other hand I think it's good to have diferents kinds of friends in facebook. The third talks about that when we acept someone in facebook, they instantaneously know everything we put there, so we haven't acept anyone. The 4th video tell us that we really didn't know the people we have on facebook, so go to the park its a good idea to know each other. Personally, I agree with every message in the videos.
2) Choose one of these videos and discuss it. What do you think the point of the commercial is? Did you like it? Why (not)?
I choose the third video. The point is that anyone can make a fake facebook, and if we acepted it, they will know lots of thing about this and they can use it for his benefit and not for ours. I like it, because it's a simple form to explain a serious topic.
3) What are, in your opinion, the main advantages and disadvantages of social networks like facebook?
As far as I'm concerned, facebook has lots of advantage, like we can conect with ours friend every day, though they are ir other country, or far of ours homes. Apart from that, it usefull to see photographs and videos. But on the other hand, anyone who have a facebook can take ours information though we didn't want
Good answers Borja!
Delete1) The first video highlighted the fact that Facebook uses coal as the main source of energy, instead of using another source which can be more environmentally friendly, like the one mentioned in the video: wind power. As a result, Fb pollutes our world in a way, and makes more climatic problems to happen, like big storms or floods. Apart from the environmental part, it calls my attention the fact that Mark 'invented Fb to create friends for him'. It's like in a way friends that we have in Fb are not our real’s friends. That's what I sensed anyway. I agree that we have to start thinking about ways of looking after the world, and using different kinds of energy would be a good way to avoid pollution.
ReplyDeleteTo my mind, the second vid actually doesn't show any disadvantage. I think there is a place for everyone in Fb. Even in the end of the video, the guy who presented it said "We all have these friends who are... unique? But Fb wouldn't be Fb without them in it." Maybe the disadvantage side of the commercial is that it’s shown a stereotypical image of people inside Fb, and that persons are not really "unique". Instead of being unique they are kind of silly because they use Fb in a weird way. But how cares how do we use Fb anyway?
The third commercial is about promoting safe online surfing. I agree with this message because if we only confirm people we know in Fb, which would lower the amount of virtual kidnaps or other ways of criminality that are made thought the web.
The fourth video highlighted the fact that whenever we use Fb, we are not having 'face-to-face' communication. As far as I'm concerned, we don't see the people we talk to in Fb everyday. So I think that it's actually a great idea to promote that kind of events like 'Facepark'. I found it very original!
2) The vids that I like the most were the altoids commercial and the Diesel Facepark Event. Anyway I'll talk about the second commercial mentioned. I think the point of this vid is to promote face-to-face communication by creating original ways of interacting with people. In the advertisement, it is shown that there were bands playing, people from all around the world talking together, people playing games like in real Fb, etc. I'd love to go to a kind of event like that one - It seems a funny way to meet new people!
3) In my opinion, the main disadvantages of using social networks are the possibility of unknown people to get information from you (but as far as you use Fb wisely, you won't have problems!) and the fact that by using Fb we actually lose a lot of the warmth of face-to-face dialogue. Plus, it’s actually really addictive, I waste too much time on Fb when I’ll have to be doing other things!
The main advantage of using social networks are that you have the chance to keep in touch with persons you met anywhere. Moreover, you can talk to people all around the world, and if there’s a relative of yours that lives abroad it’s a very good way to communicate with him/her! I also use Fb to arrange meetings with my friends because sometimes it’s complicated to call to all your friends. Using Fb is faster and easier than using the telephone.
Hope you don’t mind I use the abbreviation ‘Fb’ to put Facebook!
Excellent answers, Victoria!

1. There are many disadvanteges of online social networking, for example the coal that the central ofice use to produce electricity. Other example is that in facebook you acept an unknown person and you are invited him to your life. Also in the last video we can see that in facebook we spend a lot of time.
ReplyDelete2. I choose video number 3. I'm really agree with that. in facebook i dont acept unknown persons because I'm not interesting and it can be dangerous. That video can awareness people not to acept unknown people.
3. The advanteges are that you can be connected with friends all the time and It is faster and easier to comunicate with people. Facebook maybe seem as a negative think because you can waste hours doing nothing and in that time, for example, you can see friends or comunicate with them in otherwise.
Thanks Guadalupe! Be careful with language, especially in #2
Delete1) What are the disadvantages of online social networking that are highlighted in each video? Do you agree with their message?
ReplyDeleteOn the first video, it is highlighted that facebook used to work with coal based energy, that's bad for the environment. on the second video, the disadvantage is not very clear, but we can say that they focus on exagerated aspects of every user of facebook. The third one is, in my opinion, the most important, because it makes a point about the dangers of sharing our private life in facebook. The forth one highlights that spending so much time in the computer isn't good.
2) Choose one of these videos and discuss it. What do you think the point of the commercial is? Did you like it? Why (not)?
I chose the third one. The point of the comercial is to make facebook users aware that the information that they share can be used to do harm to them, and so they advice not to accept anyone to be your facebook friend. I feel neutral about it, as I've seen videos about the same topic that are, in my opinion, done better than this one. I think that the topic should be approached as a more serious thing.
3) What are, in your opinion, the main advantages and disadvantages of social networks like facebook?
I use Facebook, but I don't like that it's so deeply rooted in our country's society. I think that there're a lot of bad things about facebook: like the adiction it creates, the dependence that people feel , and the thought that you "need to know everything about everyone". However, it's nice that it's easier to contact people. I perfer other types of social networks, such as Deviantart, that are focused in different themes, such as art, music, etc. In my opinion, they are better than Facebook because they focus more on sharing knowledge and tastes than in gossip.
Very interesting points, Paula. Feel free to share any other videos on online safety with the class :)
Delete1)In first video, it highlight that when we are using Facebook, we are using COAL to energy. The cole pollute with the smoke that it pulls.
ReplyDeleteIn second video, it's a song that it talks about Facebook and the type people that use it. Also, it's a commercial of pills. I didn't see the disadvantages.
In third video points that you shouldn't accept extrangers in Facebook, because if you accept them, you are inviting to your private life. It tooks the example of Little Red Riding Hood and the wolf.
Finally, in the fourth video, I can't found the disadvantage. It's seems like a 'PARTY' of people from Facebook. It would be interesting for someone, but I found insignificant.
I'm agree with those messages.
2) I choose the third video, the one of Little Red Riding Hood. The point of the commercial is make understand to the people that you shouldn't admit people that you don't know in Facebook. I like it, but I find it very childish, because it tooks by example the tale of the wolf and Little Red Riding Hood. But I understand that it's very understandable for children.
3) I think that when you use a social network, you are exhibiting your identity. You must be aware. Also, some people are vicious with this things. Some people can waste a lot of hours in Facebook for example. There's another fact that it's a disadvantage.
Thanks, Julieta!
DeleteIn #3 do you mean people are 'addicted'? Because 'vicious' means something quite different, like 'cruel'...
1-In the first video i can see that facebook use coal and this affect global warming, the second one said that some people don´t use facebook or global social networks properly, and in the third one said that you have to be careful when you add someone to your friends on facebook, and the last one explains that facebook makes us loose a lot of time in front of ours computers in stead of in nature. I agree with the message and I think we have to be more aware of our properly use of global social networks.
ReplyDelete2-I think Diesel Facepark event was made us create an awareness of the time we loose in front of ours computers doing nothing productive in stead of having real interactuation with real people. I like it very much because I agree with this point of view!
3-On the one hand social networks like facebook connect us with our friends all time in almost everywhere, let us have fun with publications of friends and show us the news in real time! But on the other hand the friends that you can make on facebook are not real friends, sometimes is dangerous for our privacy and security. But if you are responsible when you use this kind of pages, it is great to spend a good time online and inform yourself about what´s happening in the world instantly.
Good points, Ignacio!
Delete1)In the first video, the disadvantage that we can see is that facebook uses coal and polutes the air. I agree with this but I believe that people won't use facebook because of it.
ReplyDeleteThe second video shows that on the social network, facebook, you can find different kind of people. As far as i'm concern this comercial doesn't show a disadvantage, all it's good for me.
The thirth video shows the disadvantage that on facebook, people used to accept everybody also unknown people and this it's dangerous. It's a good idea to only accept persons you know.
The last video shows the disadvantage that people waste time on facebook instead of interacting with people in real life. They should do it not depending on a screen. For me, it's a good idea what they did in the park, is something new and it looks funny.
2) I choose the third video. In my view the point of the commercial is that we dont have to accept all request of friends that we have on facebook. They can be unknown and it's dangerous; we shouldn't share our private life with everybody and specially online. Yes, I really like the commercial. With a tale, it shows something very important that we need to learn. It's funny and interesting.
3) In my concern, social networks have a lot of advantages but obviously they also have disadvantages. For example, on facebook you can communicate with people from all over the world in a very good way, it's really easy and fast. On twitter, you can write what are you doing or phrases that you like, it's another way to communicate with people you 'know'.
The disadvantages could be that people may be don't use it correctly, accepting all request of 'friends' and in that way sharing private information. Some people had bad intentions and we can be in danger...
Great work, Malena
Delete1) In the first video, the disadvantages are that they use coal to generate power, which if used that way harms the environment, therefore, is not good to us.
ReplyDeleteIn the second video, In my opinion it doesnt´t have disadvantages, everyone is free to use facebook as they wish
In the third video you can see the disadvantages that bring the facebook if it is used improperly. We must be careful whith the way we use it because it can be dangerous tool.
In the last video, we are given to understand how people waste their time on facebook, there are people who spend all day on the net where you can actually spend time with your friends and family in person.
2) I chose the third video, called Little Red Riding Mood, I found it very interesting becauste it shows us one of the most problematic and dangerous things of facebook through a well-known story. People should be aware of what it does and how it does it, until it becomes very dangerous for us.
3) My point of view on this is pretty broad. I think if we use social networks like facebook properly it is one of the best and most useful inventions ever. On the other hand, in my opinion, I think that when we use it improperly it generates a big problem for society. I think we should reconsider this and work to use it correctly.
Great answers, Gonzalo!
Delete1. In the first video, shows how facebook uses coal (by Mark Zukeberg decision) and how that produces global warming and air pollution. In my opionion Mark Zukemberg have to use another type of energy for Facebook..
ReplyDeleteIn the second video in my view, there is no disadvantage, because everyone can do what they want in their social network, while they don t involve another person.
The third video shows that people on facebook, usually accept people who do not know, and if you accept that person , it can be dangerous for you and he/she might have a false identity to contact you.
The fourth video tries to explain that much time on the computer and not being able to interact with real people, is bad for people, then i think that the idea to tryied to make a real life facebook is wonderful .
2. I choose the third commercial video because children can understand what the commercial is trying to say ,by using a children's story.Kids need to understand the message of not accepting people they don t know because in that way, it prevent them of future problems.
3. In my opinion there are many disadvantages in using social networks, for example, that people can access to your information source, they can see what you do, the places where you are, etc.. . But also, it has advantages, such as access to news, to communicate with friends or working people from your city or other country , and makes faster the communication. The point is that you have to find the balance in the proper handling of information, to have good security of yours, and not to spend so much time on the computer or phone.

The main disadvantage is the pollution caused by the coal and electricity used. I do not totally agree, I like and use the facebook, but not right to pollute.
2) Choose one of these videos and discuss it. What do you think the point of the commercial is? Did you like it? Why (not)?
I chose the second video, I think the point or purpose of the video is to promote facebook, that people know that it is this social network, and you start to use it. I think the goal is that people feel icluida using facebook, and you do not use it, is out of the system.
3) What are, in your opinion, the main advantages and disadvantages of social networks like facebook?
Most disventajes for humanity is pollution, then I think the rest is positive, the facebook allows global communication between people around the world, much faster and effective forms of communication demos, plus is free.
1) What are the disadvantages of online social networking that are highlighted in each video? Do you agree with their message?
ReplyDeleteIn the first video they critisice how facebook pollute the world and they say that mark (the creator of facebook) has to chose if continue with facebook and his pollution or not.
The second one talks about the different personality of the people who use facebbok.
The third one talks about the criminals that use facebook as a wearpon and to take care about who we add.
Finally the fourth talks about an idea of disconecting from computer one day.
i agree with these messages becouse they are all true and some of them are really issues that internet and social networks brings nowadays.
2) Choose one of these videos and discuss it. What do you think the point of the commercial is? Did you like it? Why (not)?
i choose the one of the little red riding hood. its really intresting and i like it becouse it combine a child story with a issue that nowadays its a big problem to all the people that use facebook.
3) What are, in your opinion, the main advantages and disadvantages of social networks like facebook?
In my opinion the big advanteges that facebook are is that you can meet new people, you can contact and talk with friend form long distances easier and you can share your life and photos with other people.
The disadvanteges facebook bring are the criminals that use facebook as a tool for looking up information of a person and then that you think you have more friends and maybe most of them are not your real friend.
Thanks, Manuel
