FACEBOOK – DET SOCIALE MEDIE
Skrevet af Jonas
Facebook er verdens største sociale netværk, og det foregår alt sammen på internettet. Og det, at det foregår på internettet, er jo problemet.
”Facebook er spild af tid! Facebook er for let at hacke! Facebook overskrider privatlivet! ”
Argumenter mod Facebook er der mange af. Rigtig mange, endda. Men, lad os starte med at se på hvad Facebook egentlig er.
Facebook er en hjemmeside, der blev åbnet i 2004, af Harvard studenten, Mark Zuckerberg. Det skulle originalt have været en datingside for universiteter, og på det tidspunkt havde man ingen ide hvad Facebook.com ville udvikle sig til.
Lad os så springe lidt i tiden. I 2011 har siden over 800 millioner brugere over hele verden. Over 2.5 millioner danskere er på siden, og tallet fortsætter med at gro. Det er den anden mest besøgte side i verden, kun overgået af Google. Og, min mening? Ja, jeg synes det er noget lort. Ideén er overhovedet ikke original. Der har været andre sociale netværks sider ude på internettet, i årevis før Facebook.
Lad os lige tænke over det. Før Facebook var der faktisk mange sociale netværks sider ude på markedet. Sider som Myspace, Friendster var alle aktive før Facebook. I 2006 begyndte Facebook dog at gro langt over sider som Myspace og Friendster. Hvad var det så, der gjorde Facebook så populært? Var det layoutet? Layoutet var nu ikke meget imponerende før 2011. Var det navnet? Jeg synes da heller ikke at navnet er særlig imponerende. Er det fordi man kan spille spil der inde? Spillene er egentlig ikke særlig imponerende, og det er spil man let kan finde på sin mobil. Hvad er det dog så? Er det virkelig bare fordi at Mark Zuckerberg er, et eller andet, geni? Det er jo svært at sige, og det er et spørgsmål, som nok aldrig bliver besvaret.
Jeg ved godt, at jeg sagde, at jeg hadede Facebook tidligere. Men, det betyder ikke, at jeg ikke har en konto. Jeg bruger faktisk Facebok meget tit. ”chatter” lidt med vennerne, måske spiller jeg et spil. Det er mere ideén med det. En så simpel ide, kan tjene så mange penge. Det overrasker mig bare. Jeg mener, enhver der nogensinde har været på internettet, ved at det handler meget om at tale med andre. Der er også mange der har hævdet, at Facebook var deres ide. De tænkte sikkert også de samme ting, dengang Facebook blev skabt. De var åbenbart bare for sent på den. Så simpelt er det.
Men, i forhold til Facebook i praksis, synes jeg da ikke, at det er en dårlig ide. Det er da godt for venner at kunne dele billeder, og skrive nogle sjove kommentarer. Det er der vel ikke noget galt med, er der? Det er der faktisk mange der synes. Problemet er, at når man uploader et billedet, ”ejer” Facebook det teknisk set. Det vil sige, at når man sætter et billede ind på sin profil, kan Facebook gøre hvad de vil med det. Teknisk set. Selvfølgelig gør de højst sandsynligt ikke noget med det. Men, de har billedet siddende i deres databaser. Og, det er problemet.

DANGER! CHILDREN AT WORK
Written by Jonas
In this article, I will give my views on children working. A common thing for many teenagers, before or after school.
In the old days it was school, followed by work at home. Then, the work part sort of got kicked out in the 80's and 90's. But, the phenomenon has slowly returned, and is now a big part of many teenagers every day life. I think one of the main reasons for that is, that many teenagers wants to have their own source of income, and doesn't want to rely on their parents' monthly or weekly handouts. Though, it's not because every teenager in the world works, there is still a great deal of them who don't. Including me, by the way. But, let's talk about the ones that actually do, shall we?
Many of my friends work, one at a cinema, another one at a supermarket, and so forth. They usually go to school, and then a little while after, they will be headed for their jobs. These jobs, which are usually very demanding, lasts to about 6pm. 4 hours of hard, honest work. Now, is there anything wrong with that? Not on the contrary, no. I mean, it learns them to take responsibility, and stuff like that. So on the contrary, no. But, if you dig a little deeper, I think you will definitely find a lot of things wrong with it. The biggest thing being that it has effects on how they do at school. Because when you come home at 6pm, hungry, tired and exhausted, your first thought isn't to do homework, is it? That's actually your last thought, I would think. I mean, the whole reason why they even got the job, was so they could get the newest games and fashion. Let's take an example, one of my friends, who I won't name, pretty much works from 2-6 most days. When he comes home at 6pm he will perhaps eat some dinner, then at 7:30pm he will finally have some time for himself. Time to play that new game he bought, but oh no! He discovers that he has to prepare a presentation for Biology tomorrow. Let's say, he refuses to do that, and instead just plays the night away. Which is probably what would happen in that case. It's the next day, and he has biology. The biology teacher asks him to do his presentation, but oh no! He didn't do it. The teacher is mad, and gives him -3 in Biology. So, to tell a long story short, I definitely think that it affects just how well they do at school. They just don't have time to do their homework, when working the afternoon away.
Another thing I was asked to talk a little bit about, was children in Africa working until they drop dead. Though, I won't get too much into that, since I think it is pretty obvious what anyone's opinion would be on that. It's of course a horrible thing, and I don't wish to mention it more than that.
Now, it may have sounded like I was completely against teenagers working before, though I am not. I definitely still think that there is benefits to it. It gives them a feeling of self-worth, which is a good thing. And, I'm sure that there is a lot of people thinking that it's a good idea. And, I'm sure they have got a bunch of good reasons. I just personally think that the bad things about teenagers working, slightly outweighs the good things. And as stated before, I don't work myself, but maybe if I did work, I would have a totally different opinion. But for now, I just think that it harms them a little bit too much school-wise.
