Week Five: Lecture Review

The lecture this week was an interesting one. 
The topics that were focused on where: web 2.0 and social media
Adam then delve into these two topics in more depth by exploring new media: visual community/ individual identify and Internet studies: web 2.0/ social media.

Although the lecture focused on topics I was unfamiliar with I found the lecture to be very interesting and I felt I had learnt a lot when it was over. I was most taken with the concept of identity play and the ego-centric social network and how the focus of 'shared interests' has been lost to self-exhibitionists. 

I thought the concept and phenomenon of web 2.0 was fascinating and it was covered and explained well in the lecture. I was left with the constant thought of: 

'are we the consumers or the creators?'
