Research Team ...

YouTube In Context. The loss of Community && "Networked Individualism" (Wellman)
Because Women Joined The WorkForce They didnt Have Any Time To Spend With Their Families ...
Barry Wellman made a statement saying "From place to place to person to person connectivity" he called it "Networked Individualism".
Cultural Inversion: Individualism && Community
Express - Individualism, Independance, Commercialization
Value - Community, Relationships, Authenticity
Robert Putnom stated in 1995 "My hunck is that meeting in an electronic forum is not the equivalent of meeting in a bowling alley."
Understanding New Forms of Community Through Participant Observation
Michael Wesch Also Approved And Agreed With What Robert Putnom Had To Say ... He Added: "experience the phemenon of participant observation you have to understand."
YouTube As a Medium For Community
As We Already Know Michael Came To A Idea Whereby Media Changes Human Relations. The Students Had To Do An Investigation Where They Had To Talk To People But They Didnt Know Who ...
Our First Blogs
It Is Difficult To Make Videos Because It Seems Strange As It's Almost As If Your Talking To Yourself . Therefore People Don't Really Know What To Say So They Don't Make That Many Videos.
The Webcam: Everybody Is Watching Where Nobody Is ("context collapse")
When People Make Their Videos They Can See Their Own Identity And They Can Watch Their Video Over and Over Again As Many Times As They Wish To. It's As If EveryOne Is Watching You But You Don't Know Who's On The Recieving End.
