In Andrew Keen\u2019s Digital Vertigo<\/em> (Introduction and Chapter 1), Keen understands and accepts the benefits of technological novelty before cautioning us of the dangers. \u00a0Andrew Keen is a British-American entrepreneur\u00a0\u00a0writer, broadcaster and public speaker. He is an acclaimed speaker on the international circuit, speaking regularly on the impact of new technology on 21st century business, education and society. He cautions that social networking could have adverse effects that have not been well-thought-out by people.\u00a0\"Andrew<\/a><\/p>\n

Keen argues we have moved on to a third wave. There is not just internet now but we are moving onto a social society; everything is moving onto the social sphere. \u00a0We have moved from web 2.0 to web 3.0.\u00a0Web 2.0 tended to be anonymous; web 3.0 is far less anonymous. \u00a0By doing so people have not realized that by becoming connected we are disconnected and become isolated from one another.<\/p>\n

What I glimpse that late November afternoon in Bloomsbury was the anti-social future, the loneliness of the isolated man in the connected crowd.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I agree with in saying that we have overlooked the ant-social aspect of social media. That in being everywhere we in fact nowhere.<\/p>\n

Absolute unreality is real presence, and the completely fake is also completely real.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Digital technology has transformed<\/p>\n

From being a tool of second life into an increasingly central part of real life.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I do think however it will be difficult to reverse this or make people aware of what is already happening. Society\u2019s innovation is on a fast-track where we are constantly trying to create.<\/p>\n

In an interview with The New York Times, (One on One: Andrew Keen, Author of ‘Digital Vertigo’<\/a>) Keen was asked what should come next. His answer was to focus on privacy and make things perishable.<\/p>\n

It should be like drawing something in the sand in the desert. Facebook won’t do this but others will and there are some of the smartest\u00a0people I know working on new companies that focus on privacy.\"Privacy\"<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Keen is currently the host of \u201cKeen On\u201d, the popular Techcrunch chat show. In an interview (Why Privacy is the Valley’s Next Big Thing<\/a>) with David Cho (CEO and co-founder of Sidebark), they discuss Keen\u2019s belief that 2012 will focus on privacy. Cho believes that his company will give us the security to share even our most sensitive data with our friends. In 2011, CHo said that 350 billion photos were taken but only 50 billion were shared on sites such as Flikr, Facebook, or Google +. The number one reason people did not share photos was privacy. Cho discusses two kinds of privacy: social privacy which is something found on Facebook. And institutional privacy which is trusting the company with the data given which can\u2019t really be found with Facebook since it\u2019s an advertising company.<\/p>\n

I find that privacy is a little difficult with the internet. Even if it\u2019s private, once it\u2019s on the internet it\u2019s there forever and available for those searching and hacking. Also, in a society were advertising is huge, will this privacy concept as a business model for a company, really take on and become a thing of the future?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
