It's too much!!

Today, I read some articles about [social news and social bookmarking].

Everyday I check so many things to keep up with others.

These new innovations in technology have increased the value of information.

Everyone is looking for new valuable information about anything.

I feel it is too much for me. I don't want to stay in front of PC all day looking for the information I want.

I just want to check my e-mail, do little bit of social networking stuff, and do one or less (0) research.

I don't want to bookmark so many different websites and keep checking them.

Is there any way that I don't need to do all this......



Social bookmarks helps it easier to look at different websites.

But, I hope there will be a day that I don't need to do any research to find the information I want. I hope someday I become so rich, so that my assistants do all the work for me.

Can you really build trust with your team?

I read "6 ways to build trust with your virtual team"

and it gave 6 solutions to problems you face in virtually working together.

but can you really build trust with your team by doing all the things she suggests?

Her suggestions were to:

- to have office hours' section, have IM
- work on some projects together
- give people the context as well as the information
- have team meetings, simply do their email
- use the feedback tools widely, interactive online meeting
- have a system that writes down what is expected of everyone

I thought these will help virtual team work better.
but wasnt sure it will build trust with team members.

I think there are many people who cant build trust in real life.
so it is better to give how to build trust itself since working virtually cant see others face and it is harder to build trust in those environment.

I heard that IM and other internet tools are making people's English and grammar skills worse. however, I think to build the trust, people really need to work on their English. It is harder to understand others with out looking at them. Therefore, I think people need the skill to tell what you really mean to others.

Everything is about Connecting!!

Last week we played Second Life in class.
It seemed everyone was enjoying it.

Now you can play Second Life on an iPhone!!



!!Make many people involved!!

Theseadyas, every company or thing is working together to do things that couldnt be done by alone. Connecting and working together is big. SNS is about connecting many people together. if there was only one person doing SNS, then it wouldnt be big or it wouldnt even work. Being many people involved is huge!! Second Life is the same thing. It needs many people to play to make it grow and make it better.

No computer for today....

Question:

Can people today live without computer?

Answer:

.......

The answer for this question is hard to state.

That's because there are many people living in the different environment.

But, for people living in capitalized world, I think the answer is no.

Because everyone use money and money is managed by computers.

Even for people not living in capitalized world if they have citizenships in their country, there documents are managed by computers. so if there isnt any computer, governments of their country wont know if they live or not.

i guess everyone is controled and managed by computer thesedays.....

☆☆☆that's cool☆☆☆

i think computer is making our world more interesting to live.

so i thnak every computers except the ones in North Korea trying to launch missile to Japan, for making the world more fun place to live.
