Under Construction
Basically played with codes of inserting images, onmouseover and onmouseout effect, div and span tags, background color, font color...
The idea came from a japanese website I came along some time before, simple layout, pure text really but consist of links and messages posted by everyone who feels like saying anything.
Ah, forgot to mention the site's title page its sort of eyecatching...

當年今日 (the past of today)

Clay Shirky's denfence or to state in Chapter 1 - It Takes A Village To Find A Phone, evolution is taking place very second. The coming of the internet allowed the spread of information, point of perspective and in return rally a group that finally have access to information which cannot be reached by reaching out your hand (excluding the contact with the mouse that clicks the screen now sitting in front of you) who would also present their comment both support or oppose that builds this social network or form this sort of group where we all interact through words instantly.
On the other hand Malcolm Gladwell pointed out in Small Change that social media are built around weak ties. Twitter is a way of following (or being followed by) people you may never have met. Facebook is a tool for efficiently managing your acquaintances, for keeping up with the people you would not otherwise be able to stay in touch with. That’s why you can have a thousand “friends” on Facebook, as you never could in real life. And to mention before the existence of internet which allowed the construction of the social network, people use to rally people for and during protest to present their freedom of speech through "actual" friends, in other words the more friends you and your friends have, the greater the protest.
I personally agree with Malcolm Gladwell seeing it as a stronger argument which in my own words is that evolution has simplified our lifes yet also regression takes place. The so called people to people interaction has reached an extiniction point where spoken speech has been replaced by words typed posted on a wall or pre-recorded media where leaving the house... steping out of the room or getting off bed (for me that is) is no longer necessary to do literally anything. However on the brightside (?) the number of participation has increased gradually due to the little amount of effort (to none) required, with a simple type, shoot, record, etc. and people are already seeing more, hearing more, saying more, participating more (virtually), the social network has expanded knowledge within the least amount of time required. Therefore I would say its a win-lose situation for both sides, an action comes with a reaction, it can't be helped, atleast we are still sort of communicating as I type and you read.
