For the mobile phone development,it blur the boundary of private and public space

For the mobile phone development,it blur the boundary of private and public space.We were previously used the more traditional mobile phone only can send and receive SMS,play games,phone calls, and later with technological development, the phone began to have a camera function,it gaining popularity in the mobile phone camera and convenient SMS send picture to friends.Later,Iphone appear in the world,surfing the internet in the mobile phone has become a popular culture,anytime anywhere to receive information.

 In the past,we always put all photos into albums stored in home,family members and friedns can come to have a look.Nowadays,mobile network can connect at any time,there are a variety of media to share their lives, such as facebook,ins,those information is public to friends and family,it is not the private,sometimes your friends will share some photos and tag you,but you see they have been tag before you are totally unaware that he was shot to publish this photo.Another example is now on the MTR,others may not want to see or know what you are doing,but these thing display in front of the public,other people may not be determined to see.In the pass, a small mobile phone send text message even  when used in a public place, other may not be visible.You can not use a mobile phone to serve as a platform to share some information.

Moreover because of technological improved,it can be more convenient to their own design some features, such as the whatsapp blue tick fuction.Using a cell phone is your private space, but these features appears, as long as people can cell you see when you use the cell phone has become a monitoring function, of course you can choose to ture off this feature, but others may be asked or ask you to use,for example, your partner.(324 words)

  1. Dear Audrey, The discussion is fine here. You may want to make it clearer when you say technology blurs the boundary of private space and public space. Your definition and examples are more about how the personal matters are now exposed to, and circulated amongst the public for scrutinisation. The last remark about the freedom enjoyed by user is nice though.
