THE NEW KID ON THE BLOCK by Liz Mc Donald


Mark Zuckerburg, the creator of Facebook, has announced his new program that will integrate all forms of communications, Facebook, Yahoo, email, chat, tweets, texting, messages, urgent or not, business and banking.

He proposes that this will shorten the time one has in locating all the information from each site, article, text, tweet, email etc. It may work if he can provide separate block areas on a page for each one of these sites. 

However, Facebook has had problems in the past because of an overload of information overwhelming the system shutting it down for hours.  This in turn would shut down everything else in the process. Just today FB deactivated thousands of FB accounts because of a glitch in the system. 


Freelance writers and journalists that are on tight schedules won’t be able to upload their articles. Banking transactions will be interrupted for customers and as we saw recently, the  ability to access a person’s secure information will be in jeopardy  because the apps allow anyone to see your information.

If this is the way of the future then we need to have strict guidelines in place from the FCC and then we will be government regulated. And, Government regulation is the one thing that people using the internet do not want. 

This may come but I hope not in the near future.

YOU WON'T SEE THIS POSTED ON WC SO I POSTED IT HERE

“Facebook goes down for the second time in a Month”

Canadians across the nation stood outside in outraged looking towards the sky, arms outstretched; holding up blank signs in the attempt to communicate with each other.

Their emotions were felt across the world as it the outage spread to the United States, Europe, China and finely Japan. Then the entire world stood outside looking up wondering when this catastrophe would end. No longer did anyone have the ability to instantaneously lean on each other for support, consoling or any other way to communicate. It was as if their tongues had been ripped from their mouths. A pall of sadness crossed in front of the sun.

Lights came on in each person’s house in protest. Their plan was to show support for intervention by the Government to return sanity to the world. The crisis was over before Canada had a chance to invade the United States. Though this catastrophe lasted only a matter of hours it left the world shaken to its bones.

Can we stand another one of these breakdowns? The crazy conspiracy theorists’ say it’s the US government. The US Government denies all such possibilities and says it is looking into the reason for this terrorist attack.

Meanwhile we the people are all still in shock considering the possibility of losing our God given right.
