4. What are Social networks and give some examples that were presented in the class? Write all the information you know about the Digital Music presentation.

Social Networks are web pages by which you may enter information about you and create a profile,you may also upload pictures of you and your friends or family, with this pages you may interact with friends, and friends from your friends and know new people. Social Networks are really useful to get to know somebody who give you a job or to go on a date with someone, etc. you can find that you are linked with many people you never imagined. This also helps because you can know people of all the world, interact with them, and even have good relations with them and share things about your culture and their. The bad part of having all your personal information online is that everyone can have access to it (unless you make configuarations for this not to happen and you are very carefull of who you accept as a friend) you may be exposed and give information to disguised kidnappers, so you have to be carefull about it. Also something that is bad, is that people can lie about their identity. So that is why you have to be careful letting others see your profile, photos that reveal your daily life too much.

Some examples of this social networks are: Facebook were you upload photos, share likes and dislikes, comment on pictures, and interact in games with others Hi5 which is very simmilar to facebook, in this one you can personalize your porfile with skins that might reflect more your personallity. my space same as hi5 and facebook, but in here is where most of music bands have their porfile to have followers, so it a good media for finding new music. twitter this one is a bit different because here you communicate what you are doing in the moment (this is more material for a kidnapper) this social networks are very important, becuase you can have all your life there, you can also know new things that you have not know, like romances, fights, and other things like publicity too. Many celebrities joined twitter to informed their followers what are they doing, but sometimes this can be faked by someone and invented all what they want. Thanks to this networks we can load inforamtion and inform people of where are you, what are you doing what do you think, and other things. This networks can be adictive because information changes all time, so other people changes their status or upload photos, etc.

Digital Music is commonly distributed by programs on the computer which help you download music. MP3 players are used to play this kind of music, the first one was a common mp3 player, named walkman and they put Cd's or cassetes. They were created by any big company as sony samsung and many others. Later, Apple created the Ipod in its different versions as Ipod nano, shuffle, video,touch, also created the Iphone which is not only used to reproduce MP3 but also to make phonecalls beside other functions. the importance of mp3 is that you dont have to carry hundreds of discs, yuou just need an ipod or a mp3 player to listen hundreds of songs, this format was created trough the last 30 years aproximately.
