We-Think

Mass innovation has taken over from mass production. Lots of people now focus on creativity and gaining recognition for what they have created. Sites like YouTube are an example of mass innovation as anyone can upload any content and get feedback from viewers, good or bad. YouTube also gives people the democratic voice as they have the freedom to voice their response to different videos (in the comments) and also are free to express their views in videos they upload.

Sites like YouTube are, however, harder to control. This can lead to people being more open to abuse and invasions of privacy. iCloud is another example of a site which was made to make it simpler for people to store files, yet in 2014 there was a hack and it meant that lots of people’s private images were released onto

the internet. This was a massive invasion of the peoples’ privacy.

Sites such as Facebook and Twitter are sites that were made as a new way for

people to socialise online. These sites allow millions of people fro around the world to communicate with each other. It has also massively helped to further careers of celebrities (people in different countries can become aware of celebrities from another country) and also create many online friendships.A downside to these sites the potential for hackers to get hold of private information and the problem with people accidently showing locations and personal information. These sites also leave the users more open to abuse as it can give people anonymity and confidence to say horrible things. There is also issues with cyber bullying which occurs often.
