Myspace, a new technology that makes the world flat

        Myspace is globalizing the world. It is allowing the youth to communicate instantly with people across all nations. It allows users to embellish their homepages with artwork, pictures, music, and blogs of their daily lives. It showcases their personality for others to see. Then it allows the users to share this wide aspect of their lives with people in different countries. Which in turn lets the thousands of different cultures to interweave and mingle.

        Communication and the sharing of information and cultures is a great idea that has been around as long as Napoleon. Now it is being shared with among the youth and everyone by using Myspace. It is a great tool for everyone to use. In fact while researching the philosophy of free information I came upon a Myspace group that was discussing this very topic. The group was open for everyone to input their ideas. The people ranged from all corners of the U.S., Europe, and a couple of people from Asia which goes to prove that Myspace is globalizing the world.

        MySpace is also a terrific way to promote oneself. Aspiring artists use MySpace to gain exposure. There are multiple art forums along with a video link so up and coming directors or artists can promote themselves. Not to mention the huge music department. Many people such as myself look for new underground music here. It is one of the last forms for the youth to show off their artistic side and put it on display to the world where they might be found by big corporations.

        Myspace is a great idea that came from no where and is now in the top four most visited websites. It has empowered the youth today and is even reaching out to some of the older generation. It is so popular that many big corporations use it to advertise their products. And it is globalizing the world. In fact many cell phones now come with a mobile version of the Myspace program so that you can access it from anywhere with just a push of a button. The fact that Myspace is just a blank space for you to show your creativity and artistic abilities is what makes it great and unique. It is not just any program on the internet, it is your program and you can do with it what you want to. They just give you the information and the freedom to create your own little world and to share that with the rest of the world. Myspace has globalized the youth world, to be truthful; it’s flattened the world we live in today.
