"Sporting Safe in a Limited Sphere: Tactics and Facebook" Blog Post

This chapter tackles the differences and arguments behind public and private spheres within media representation. The app facebook is a popular phone app that sits in between the definition of public and private spheres. As public spheres refer to a platform of wide communication to various amount of debate and connection, private spheres represent the opposite as they are areas of limited conservative conversations. The grey area that many modern day media platforms rest on, cannot be descibed as public or private. Applications alongside Facebook such as youtube, google, and others are all questioned as to where they stand. Although Facebook cannot be directly seen as neither private or public, the main commondity that connects the two is the addition of both spheres. The variety that Facebook has to offer represents the public system, as the safety and privacy measures take on the other sphere. The debate that lies over modern day apps otherwise called "web 2.0", surrounds the strict nature of "this or that." Although it is apparent that web 2.0 is the result of technological advacements, many fail to recognize that the future is here, and it does not draw a line. The creation of Facebook has evolved into a big force that has wiped out the limited spaces of public and private spheres. Overall many web 2.0 technology platforms and systems alike Facebook contain the characteristics that describe both public and private spaces of communication.
