The presentation was well organised. Carrie covered the important points in the reading. The reading showed how the teenagers started to like MySpace. Moreover, the reading showed the Power relationship in the real life still exist in the cyberspace. The parents would still be the authority and check on their children though knowing more in MySpace. Thus the hierarchy boundary has not been totally eliminated.
ReplyDeleteIn my presentation, I think I am too nervous, so some parts, i can't explain clearly. I mainly focus on impression management and identity part, so I overlook the part--privacy. This also is the main focus of the research.
ReplyDeleteMy time organization should be improve in next time, this is important for me to distribute the time of each part.
