I believe tablets will only replace laptops when they both offer the same ability for content creation. Tablets, in my opinion, are for consuming content. You read, you watch, you update social media. At the same time, even though I'm sure you can create and edit material, Laptops often all of these options AND the ability to really create material. You wouldn't edit a professionally filmed short on a tablet. You wouldn't design and get ready for print a 32 page magazine on a tablet.

The distinction is simple. Tablets are (presently) designed to drink the water out of the glass, while laptops and desktops are designed to pour the water in the glass.

I think nonverbal communication will always be present in all sorts of communication efforts. As Paul Watzlawick famously said, "One cannot not communicate." It is important to understand that people will slowly find more effective ways to express emotion than emoticons. At the same time, maybe it can also be considered a good thing that we cannot communicate effectively via social media. That way we can understand that social media is just a mere temporary replacement for real, face-to-face communication.

You wise wise Sammy girl, I totally agree with you and your peculiar thoughts. People are so accustomed to interacting with their mobile phones that I feel like face to face conversation lacks some depth lately. Haven't you been on dates where the other person reaches out for the phone every 5 or 10 minutes? Priorities need to be set. If you are meeting a friend for a 1 hour lunch or drink, attention should be given to the other person, not how many twitter replies or Facebook comments you make while the other person is trying to communicate with you.

Jajajaja. I totally agree with your initial perception of blogging. I also associated it with individuals who wanted to complain, whine, and fake to be deep by writing sad little sorrow posts about love, life, and death. Now I think having a blog and updating it in a constant way is a great way to show dedication, responsibility, and discipline. The content may not always be everybody's cup of tea, but I hardly enjoy blogs who are rarely updated. I hope you have enjoyed this process a little.

Adios Adios y que te vaya bien!

Fan, after doing research for my presentation I also found myself more concerned with privacy and social media. At the same time, I think that sometimes I approach this as a battle too big for me to handle. I may try to only upload decent material, yet, if someone wanted to hack into my account, I really think like there is nothing we can truly do. I kind of feel better doubting about social media platforms because of my "not trusting" nature, than trusting everything they say and do. i can't put a face to "them" on Facebook, therefore I can't really trust them. Even people you know for your whole life can disappoint you, so why not a big corporation? Keep it private!

I had no idea who this guy is, and to be honest, I don't really care about PRDaily.com. On the other hand, when I was reading this entry I was taken by surprise when you said you "naturally" follow the site on Twitter since you enjoy that blog. Have you ever found out that you highly enjoy a blog but loath the Twitter version of it? Doesn't content sometimes get lost in translation? What do you think about that, you wise wise Omar guy?

I agree with your perception. For users’ sake, it should be turned off by default with an option to turn it on. At the same time, the launch of the new feature would completely fall on the hand of users, and not the website. This would mean that Facebook would lose control of their own site, and while it would maybe provide individuals with more respect and a better perception of the company, I don’t think they would consider that a success.
