Blog v Wiki


    Blogs and wikis are very useful in our life, because they allow you to teach and learn context, support dialogue between people, provide a space for collaboration and chronicling your and others reflections. 
      Blogging is about sharing of useful information in different ways. These can be articles, videos, images and infographics. It’s possible to mix the content and in a lot of cases the content you are sharing on a blog is time-sensitive (yet, we doesn’t exclude the possibility of evergreen content. Technically blog has a definite structure and there are a lot of tips to make it user-friendly, engaging etc. It’s possible to subscribe for the new blog post via email or RSS feed. Blogs can be formatted and allow the owner to provide different cool features to his blog visitors and subscribers.Wiki is also about sharing useful information, yet, this information is usually not time-sensitive. Technically Wiki uses a special markup and structure allowing add new content, edit it and collaborate with other people. The best example of Wiki is Wikipedia - we are used to it as a source of relevant and full information, yet, there are also a lot of websites which were created using Media Wiki engine. The main feature of Wiki websites is their structure allowing interlink content on the topic, add articles in different languages and much more. There is no option to subscribe to the Wiki driven website.
      Also blogs can be used for collaborations. You can create a blog with your friends or coworkers to express art and the softer things in life like leisure and cooking, etc. Because there is a great importance of convergence in today's networked world. Wiki can be used to create a family tree, for example. Every new generation will contribute their personal story into the website so that after hundreds years their relatives will know an interesting information.

            New media affects the society in the negative way. There is a huge problem with security, hacking and fraud.  Nowadays security agencies have access to people's personal accounts. Which makes the privacy almost compromised.  Personal data and privacy can easily be hacked and shared through the Internet.  Automatic face recognition can lead to the theft of personality, because it shares your private information to a large amount of users. Social media network should limit the function of face recognition to some extent or use it only in special cases, not on daily basis.
