It is so boring XD

When you conduct a research, how can you know if a piece of information is original or edited by someone? Nowadays , it is really difficult to find a orginal information because most of them are prousage. They are rewrote or extended by other people. We become the producer and the user( produser). I guess all of you know that our assignment can not use the wikipedia as the references because it can wrote by many many people. I believe that a picture is better that thousand words. See this is a good example again.

Be honest, I don't like watch YouTube maybe I am not trendy enough but I know that there are a lot of people watch Youtube many times a day. Here is a good example, now I wrote my blog few days ago, my roommate asked me to have a look of her computer because she found something really interesting in Youtube. There is a Hong Kong girl just finished her oral exam and she took a video to criticize the examiner. After a few minutes, I found out that this video is posted in my friends facebook. NOT only ONE!!!! Only 10 minutes, people leave over 200 comments in her post. It is really horrible that is the process of produser. The girl is not the only one user, the 200 commenter. Today, I found that there are a lot of new videos responding the original one. Don't Worry…. She is speaking English.





According to Bruns (2008) “There is an absence of producers, distributors, or consumers, and the presence of a seemingly endless string of users acting incrementally as content producers by gradually extending and improving the information present in the information commons, the value chain begins and ends (but only temporarily, ready for further development) with content.”

Sometimes it is good for people be the user and producer because they can share what they are thinking or some academic information. This process can include different voices and angles in the society. Also it is good for other countries people to know more our culture, make our world becomes harmonious or friendly.

On the other hand, some people do not concern about the ethics problem. Some people just leave their comment in the space and using the foul language to express their emotion. this behaviour is adapting by more and more people that has no meaning at all. The only purpose for their action is for offence people without caring about the feeling of others. They do all destructive action in prupose such as hacking others blogs or internet space. You can have a look of the Youtube, there are a lot of people asking she to FXXK OFF which distort the purpose of produsage.

We have to consider about the ethics problem in this issue. Produsage is a good tool for us to exchange and get more information. We should not forget the main purpose of the produsage.
