How the mobile mobile technologies blur the boundary of public space and private space?

As nowadays the technology development develops as quick as we hard to catch we all know that many electronic devices affect to our life. First I want to define what is public space and private space Public space is a place that everyone can walk around and do anything in a public space such as street or a cafe shop; Private space is a place that only contain yourself and do your things secretly such as your home even your bedroom.

To a large extent that mobile technologies have blur the boundary of public space and private space. Here are some examples.

Movie suppose is kind of media that we should watch in the cinema as it is open to public to watch In a public space but as nowadays many app can watch movie in the mobile, we choose to just use hose apps to watch movie in our room not our friends or we will try download from the internet and just watch by yourself. It is hard to call friends to watch a movie in the cinema because nowadays you can watch movie anywhere and anytime you choose but when we watch the movie in the cinema we need to choose the exactly time and place. We are now hard to define movie such watch in a public or private space.

Also, many people nowadays like to type their feelings on Facebook, twitter or forums, etc. to share their feelings but many people will capture the people status and start separate in their Whatsapp and tell the others what did the people say and think she is so naive.  From the appearing of this kind of social media we can find that we are hard to the technology can use in a exactly public or private space because Facebook suppose is a public space that everyone can see your status or photos but nowadays it become a tool to attack someone as the people think when they type the status they are just sharing their own feeling and not going to share with the public.

  1. Dear Jodi, The writing properly addresses the assigned topic despite a more in-depth, analytical piece of work could be submitted. For example, are you putting yourself under your own surveillance by sharing your feelings online? What does it mean to you when your personal information is publisised online?
