Week 5

In this week we learned about the networked society and its personal and company based uses. The networked society characterises the structures and dynamics of our societies in the world of the twenty-first century, what is meant by this is that it controls everything we do and we use it to control everything we do. It is a very powerful tool that we use to communicate and transfer information between possible clients or other people across the internet.

The best description of a network society is people using things to interact with the internet/cloud to come up with new ideas.

Further, in the lecture, we carried on learning about the production, consumption and knowledge exchange through networked activity.

We learned about the generation of wealth and how the creation of cultural codes came to depend on the technological capacity of societies and individuals, with information and media technology at the core of this capacity.

In the readings for this week, it covers the topics of the information age and the process of how the network society first came to be. the readings link to what we learned in the seminar and are relatable to the topic as a whole. All together for this week, I understood the topics and ideas and I believe I can carry forward these ideas into next weeks learnings.
