My opinion about social webs is that they help us to spread ideas. We do not care much about reading science journals or even news the other days. When I want to get to know what's going on in my country I just open my facebook page and scroll it. Since it already is developed to tell me what I am really interested in.
My “big brother”...
We do not have the whole picture of what's going on just because there's too much information and that's why google and FB helps us delievering the part of the news that I would like to see.
There is an opinion expressed by one of the popular russian politics scientists Katherine Shulmann that they can even form our opinions and in fact the results of many elections could be formed in headquarters of Google or FB, slightly providing the part of information to change the opinion. But I do believe they can and I don't believe they do.
But here we ask questions about feelings and we ask questions about science. We spread our experience, investigations, discussions and opinions. And this is the way science becomes part of our lives – through conversations.
Tags "economics" and "science" supply me here with plenty of interesting information.
Social webs make us more human, looking out of different eyes, and they make us more educated nowadays. Still everybody can find what one is searching for.
