'We are in Luxor now. The Felluca was awesome, we just chilled out completely for 2 whole days. The boat had one massive mattress over it so we all sprawled out, listened to music, played guitar, read, sun bathed, drank and generally hung out. On the first night we all got trashed and smoked shesha for Africa, I had a smokers cough the next day (sorry Mum, won't happen again). Melissa (my roomy) drank a whole bottle of vodka (she's been living in Ireland) and was soooo hammered, she was demonstrating her yoga moves, I got some classic pics!! On the second night we had a bonfire and party on the land with the local Nubians. The played their drums and sang while we all danced around the fire under the stars. Russ, one of the guys on tour played a few songs on the guitar but they didn't seem very impressed, no beat compared to their music... '
Considering material presented during the course and make comment on the potential ethical issues that may arise in this community e.g. lack of identity and accountability.
The fact that any one can leave a comment and it can stay there for days before you get the opportunity to read or delete it can open the floor up to bullying and also there is no restrictions on people making up false identities or even copying and pasting other peoples. this could mislead people to assuming they know some one. how ever as a fall back a profile can always be made private where people can not post a comment with out being a friend and 'friends' can be deleted
Consider material presented during the lecture and make comment on the benefits this community holds over traditional notions of community e.g. communities reliant on geographic proximity
Bebo provides a free means of communicating with people any where with the Internet in the world. with out leaving the house or even having to be conscious at the same time as the person you want to talk to. for travellers especially it is a good way to update people on what they are doing seeing and where they are headed to next.
Consider material presented during the lecture and make comment what this community lacks or can not provide which traditional communities can.
Seeing some one face to face and reading body language can not be topped nor stimulated, even with 'emocons' or 'smilies' (little faces showing mood) real emotions can not be conveyed as clearly as in person. This can lead to confusion, sarcasm is a major culprit in this.
