Task 4: Write a critical review

Write a critical review of David Fincher’s film The Social Network and/or the social media Facebook.

This is a critical review, so think about the issues related to this film and/or Facebook.
This can be one of your blog posts for your ‘Online Learning Journal’ so it will need to be a minimum of 150 words and be referenced and spelt correctly.
Some of the issues and questions we discussed in the class included:
Why is Facebook so popular and how has it ‘revolutionized’ the way we interact online?

Is our use of Facebook Narcissistic?
What are the Public Privacy issues?
Hacking and violation of laws
User-generated media
Performing online and social structures: relationship status, status updates, profile pictures
Is publishing an online post/status/comment irreversible or more problematic than saying the same thing out loud?

Deadline: Completed and added as a blog post to your blog: 5.00pm Monday 7th March 2011.
