The article "The Technology Slaves (783)" in the book, "Investing Argument" by John Mauk and John Metz states some bad things of technolgy- especially, the internet. The author Ross Wheatley claims people are seriously affected negatively by using internet and what side effects accompany with- financial cost.
It can be used a counter argument of the research paper that claims why people participate to the Facebook. If this article insists financial costs which people spend in order to obtain technology is getting bigger, the reserch paper can say Facebook tends to prevent the wasting of time and financial cost, too.
It will be highlighted on financial cost using internet, and how the Facebook prevents it.

4/9/2009 Wikipedia assessment -Facebook
Description about the Facebook in Wikipedia is detailed and well- orgarnized. In addition, Wikipedia visitors are available to look over information about the Facebook Inc briefly. It is a good start to most of people who want to know about it, yet Wikipedia article is not one hundred percent trust worthy. First, the source of article comes from a knowledgeable individual, not a reliable source such as a research center, an expert, or a government. Second, there is no specific filtering to judge the content of article is true or not. Misinformation in Wikipedia can be fixed by the individual who have right to fix it- usually, the first writer- only when the readers complain about the article. Last, Outdated contents are sometimes in Wikipedia article. Updating have to be occurred frequently, but nobody has a responsibility for it. After reading the discussion, the article of Facebook also includes outdated and wrong information. For example, the number of users and revenue of Facebook are outdated. Moreover, the article said people in Iran are blocked to use Facebook but in a discussion, the Iran user claims that is not true.
For social network and privacy, Criticism part and some Litigation cases can be used. Criticism describes what privacy matter is issued recently, and Litigation specifies what cases have been treated by court until now. The writer states where the source comes from-links it with its original source- so that I can follow and confirm them.

4/5/2009 social networking assessment
-Note details about the entire site & Describe it briefly.
Facebook is the social networking service through the internet. Basically, it provides members a page such as a blog, and each member can make a relationship through the friend request to a person that they want to know. The most new things is that member can make a new relationship even if they don’t know each other well. After that, the status of “Friends” which you have relationships through the Facebook blog is displayed. At a Home screen, members can upload pictures, videos, and some links that they are interested in. Profile menu have wall menu that friends can leave a message, info menu that host’s sex, birthday, e-mail address and education work, and photos menu has pictures that the host upload. Friends menu lists people who have a relationship with me and some people who have common friends with me or common education work but they are not friends with me yet. Inbox menu works like e-mail. Anyone who knows each other can send a message to his or her friend or read it in inbox. Member can search his or her friends easily, typing name or e-mail address. The most interesting thing is that Facebook also have messenger, working only inside of Facebook website. When a member finds his or her friends are connecting Facebook, he or she can talk to a friend in real time through the messenger.
-Assess how it used
Facebook is used broadly for a connection between people and people. In addition, more and more people can get to know each other by its provided tools. The page it gives a member becomes the mean to express him or herself. Then, people open their pages only to the people who are friends. Searching system and “people who you may know” can make people connect a new relationship very easily.
-Assess who used it (based on the other users)
Legally, it is available to whom are 13 years old or older and 18 years old in high school or in college or adults, aged more than 18 years old. Recently, not only individual use it but also business people use it as a representative of their company. Not only US people but also worldwide people join in.
-Assess what it represents to the users
“Connection” is the goal of Facebook’s. It shows what Facebook is made for. A page that Facebook provides is the space in order to express who individual really is, and people have connections by those pages. Posting individual’s feelings, tasks, photos, videos at one’s page, and comment to other pages are all of things that member can do.
-Assess if it’s useful or not (answers the why or why not)
It is very useful in recent lifestyle. People are busy and they can’t afford every people they know. If friends, professors, co-workers, club members, and relatives are in Facebook, people can keep in touch and have a new relationship without extra time. In a short time, the connection can be maintained. Real time chatting can make people do multiple tasks while they talk each other.
-Assess if private information about a user is apparent
Yes, user’s information is clearly displayed in profile menu between friends. The users know each other’s real name, and e-mail address. Of course, there are host’s photos available.
The recent change of Facebook’s policy is criticized harshly. At this point of view, its policy about private information is not appropriate. The most criticized one is that Facebook has a right to all of members’ contents- pictures, videos, and writings- even though member doesn’t want. Surprisingly, Facebook still has a right about past contents after the member termites the service. It means member doesn’t take any benefit at all if Facebook sells some contents and earn money. In addition, Facebook use the contents wherever they want even though member doesn’t agree with it. Protection about private information is required by its users now.

4/2/2009 Assesing technology article
Article "Chemical Persuasion", by Aldous Huxley is the authorative source because it presents each drugs's use and their objectives based on the assumption that can happen. Also, the author gives the exact name of drugs that have developed by technology and what changes are accompanied by those.

3/31/2009 Three sources evalutation
First one of sources that I evaluate is the youtube video, titled "Your Technology culture - BCC &Internet Privacy." While I was watching the video, I found what the BCC option of e-mail stands for. It was very interesting because I even haven't tried to use the option that hides receivers' e-mail address. Also, people who don't know what BCC option is can get information why they use it. Yes, showing my e-mail address to other people who don't know me is not a pleasure thing; because probability of spam mails tends to be increased if my e-mail address is exposured to other people. BCC option is a kind of internet manner.
Second, the article "Mobile Security: Saying Yes When You Really Should Say No" makes me reconsider about the mobile security (http://www.technewsworld.com/story/66531.html.) It is very useful source for the mobile phone users becuase it describes the risks at every single situation. The article seperate each problem and explain how it is prevented. When I send my informaion using my mobilephone, it can be stolen by hacker through the server. Or some program requires permission to access my informaion when I download them but it always accompanies the risk of stealing. I can't exactly know what information they need and where it is used for. Especially, users of smartphone like blackberry and iphone have to be aware of these risks. Confidential information should be protected, and I think it can be accomplished by mobile phone user's attention.
Last one is the post "Facebook's New Terms Of Service: "We Can Do Anything We Want With Your Content. Forever,"" by Chris Walters (http://consumerist.com/5150175/facebooks-new-terms-of-service-we-can-do-anything-we-want-with-your-content-forever). I like this post, and it shows which part of policy is the problem that we have to consider. I have an account and sometimes update my picture on my facebook. Before Dr. Katherine D. Harris mentioned about the changed policy of Facebook, I didn't know at all that my contents is not mine. It's just scary. Even though I close my account, and remove my contents-pictures and writings; Still Facebook has the right to use it which way they want. We can ask a question to them. "Where is my privacy?" "Is it legal?"
