First of all, it was really great presentation and I had really great time hearing it.
J. Mei's presentation was about risks of using new media such as online communities.
The example of online communities that we used were pro-eating disorder communities, live webcam communities, MySpace and all kinds of social networking sites.
She gave us a lot of examples that occured in those social networking sites, such as Adam Biggs' live webcam suicide, MySpace Suicide, and Cyber Sexual harrassment.
While I was listening her, I could think one more example, which happend in korea.
In Korea, there are a lot of celebrities commit suicide because of replies from anti-fans on the news about them. So, recently, the government of Korea have strangthen the power of cyber law and actually put those people, who wrote bad things and spread out rumors, to actual jails with several years of sentence.
I completley agreed with J. Mei's point of view of risks of using new media.
