Personal Learning Network The Internet is becoming increasingly popular and takes up most people’s time. The rapid development of the Internet makes it not only a tool for people’s entertainment and communication, but also a tool for learning and a platform for office and cooperation.
What does it mean to the network using social media?
The first thing that comes to mind when talking about social media is the large user base. This means I can meet more people, communicate in a more diverse way, and share my content with a larger group of people – friends or the public. Social media has also made people spend more time on the network, increasing access. But it also brings some issues, such as invasion of privacy, online violence, fraud, and other negative behaviors…
How are we motivated to participate in networked publics?
As a student, the motivation that attracted us to participate in the network is the huge amount of information available. It can be used for entertainment, learning and getting more information of interest. Besides, this is the platform where you can communicate with others anytime and anywhere. He brings us a more convenient and fast life.
What are the risks & rewards of public communications?
There are risks associated with public networks, such as information leakage, cybercrime, and cyber violence. These may threaten the property, mental, and physical health of individuals. Addiction to social networking platforms can bring physical damage, bringing health problems such as myopia and obesity.
And the rewards are obvious. You can easily communicate with others in a fast life, save time, reduce stress, and get information faster.
Therefore, it is important for us to understand how to use social media properly and safely.

Hi junyang, I think the internet is a really interesting part of our life and it can reduce our stress, but when we spend more time on the internet, our life will be a huge difference, we can receive some trash email and some fraud, we can feel uncomfortable and nervous for the fraud. so I strongly agree with your points.

Hi Junyang,
Yes, I agree with you at some point, but I think everyone’s social media represents an individual on the Internet, just like everyone has their own email or facebook account. Social media also means that communication between people has become easier.

Hi! I really enjoyed reading your blog post, I think you made some really great points. I thought it was interesting how you mentioned the effects of being too involved, or addicted to social media use. I do agree that social media can carry some extremely harmful consequences, particularly for one’s mental and physical health. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Junyang,
I agree with you on the risks and rewards of public communication and how cybercrime can threaten an individual’s property, mental, and physical health. With a large majority of the population using the internet and establishing a social media presence, it has become integrated into our lives. The consequence of this is that cybercrime can cause a detrimental impact on the individuals’ life.
