Participatory culture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

  • s participation becomes easier, the diversity of voices that can be heard also increases. At one time only a few mass media giants controlled most of the information that flowed into the homes of the public, but with the advance of technology even a single person has the ability to spread information around the world. The diversification of media has benefits because in cases where the control of media becomes concentrated it gives those who have control the ability to influence the opinions and information that flows to the public domain.[8] Media concentration provides opportunity for corruption, but as information continues to become accessed from more and more places it becomes increasingly difficult to control the flow of information to the will of an agenda. Participatory Culture is also seen as a more democratic form of communication as it stimulates the audience to take an active part because they can help shape the flow of ideas across media formats.[8] The democratic tendency lent to communication by participatory culture allows new models of production that are not based on a hierarchical standard. In the face of increased participation, the traditional hierarchies will not disappear, but "Community, collaboration, and self-organization" can become the foundation of corporations as powerful alternatives.[9] Although there may be no real hierarchy evident in many collaborative websites, their ability to form large pools of collective intelligence is not compromised.

      This clearly tells us that our society has developed so well that it is easy for everyone to participate either by giving opinion, reasons, facts, etcetera this participatory culture had greatly improved since everyone voices is heard. This improves the quality of work we do since everyone's ideas and opinion is shared through the internet.
  • Participatory culture is a neologism in reference of, but opposite to a Consumer culture — in other words a culture in which private persons (the public) do not act as consumers only, but also as contributors or producers (prosumers). The term is most often applied to the production or creation of some type of published media. Recent advances in technologies (mostly personal computers and the Internet) have enabled private persons to create and publish such media, usually through the Internet. This new culture as it relates to the internet has been described as Web 2.0.

      Participatory culture is the practice were everyone work collaboratively since we share our own ideas on the internet and people would use other's people's idea to do their own work.
  • Rheingold argues, a handful of generally privileged, generally wealthy people controlled nearly all forms of mass communication--newspapers, television, magazines, books and encyclopedias.

      Here we can see that participatory culture has changed our way of life, now magazine, newspapers, television, bopoks, and encyclopedia are not controlled by the privileged class (wealth people) but by everyone because participatory culture has expanded so we not only see what the privilige class's opinion but society as a whole.

  • Making changes must seem possible: Contributors should not be intimidated and should not have the impression that they are incapable of making changes; the more users become convinced that changes are not as difficult as they think they are, the more they may be willing to participate. Changes must be technically feasible: If a system is closed, then contributors cannot make any changes; as a necessary prerequisite, there needs to be possibilities and mechanisms for extension. Benefits must be perceived: Contributors have to believe that what they get in return justifies the investment they make. The benefits perceived may vary and can include: professional benefits (helping for one’s own work), social benefits (increased status in a community, possibilities for jobs), and personal benefits (engaging in fun activities). The environments must support tasks that people engage in: The best environments will not succeed if they are focused on activities that people do rarely or consider of marginal value. Low barriers must exist to sharing changes: Evolutionary growth is greatly accelerated in systems in which participants can share changes and keep track of multiple versions easily. If sharing is difficult, it creates an unnecessary burden that participants are unwilling to overcome.

      Participatory culture is very beneficial since it benefits everyone and we not only see one point of view but society as a whole. The quality of work also improves now that you can people's idea to imrpove your own work.
  • Not only has hardware increased the individual's ability to submit content to the internet so that it may be reached by a wide audience, but in addition numerous internet sites have increased access.

      The internet made it easy for everyone to share their ideas and opinion to a wide audience by doing so everyone's ideas as shared which is beneficial to everyone since it helps everyone imrpove their quality of work.

    Abstract / Not all Facebook users appreciated the September 2006 launch of the 'News Feeds' feature. Concerned about privacy implications, thousands of users vocalized their discontent through the site itself, forcing the company to implement privacy tools. This essay examines the privacy concerns voiced following these events. Because the data made easily visible were already accessible with effort, what disturbed people was primarily the sense of exposure and invasion. In essence, the 'privacy trainwreck' that people experienced was the cost of social convergence. Key Words / convergence / exposure / Facebook / invasion / privacy / social network sites
