Women on Wiki

        Less women edit Wikipedia because their submission gets deleted by mostly men.  Their submission gets deleted because they are a woman, and women wiki editors have a harder time being taken seriously, convincing, impressive and as respected.  On Wikipedia, it is harder for women to gain trust, overcome ideals and defend their point of view.  Where are the women on Wikipedia?  There are many excuses of why there are less women editors on Wikipedia such as they are too busy, too much into perfection or too afraid.

Books May Becoming Extinct

         The  effects on the book's availabilities available?     The Answer the question:of why the printed book may be no more? As books become more and more less available, as books in print are becoming less and less available as we change our reading behaviors, and as Douglas Rushkoff in
         Program or Be Programmed, quotes, "a lot of the Newspapers that go online do so because they feel they do so out of a necessity;"      So, with more and more medias turning to digital, there is a less and less need to have printed materials available.

Some Memes are Bad

A meme is a bit of cultural information exchange that starts as fact, and then the information can turn bad after filtering through many responses and re-sends of the information.    With the passing of ideas, this information is called a meme.    Good or bad, memes can turn bad.   Memes go across culture in the many ways of: audio, visual and sensory information, and these memes are sets of information that evolves throughout social network channels on the internet.   This information mimics real truth, but the meme can be easily mistaken for the real truth, with subtle information changes as
the information travels through the internet as a type of gene mutation.  Memes carry a person's attitudes and cultural beliefs in information that travel from one person to another, effecting cultures.  Bad information spread through memes can portray a negative effect to our youth and society, and such influences come form teen influenced music, fashion and media which causes bullying and authority bashing which causes negativity and false beliefs.

Social Re-Occurring Consciousness

         As an analysis on my blog posts, I see overall learning styles and how it can be applied to different areas with social networking.    I have reoccurring themes such as shared consciousness with social networking in harmony and use of skills that shapes behaviors, and the idea of being open to new possibilities.    And, working these things into harmony ties in to the prospect of working in harmony with the use of personal blogging.      Bogging to gain a personal brand, a personality, creating our own personal culture; it is bringing it to a new level of consciousness, to be active in a working environment of social networking, keeping in touch, and having a plan to create harmony.    With building harmony,  having cohesiveness is also a requirement  with that.
       So, in a article about cohesiveness called Social networks and the psychological contract: Structural holes, cohesive ties, and beliefs regarding employer obligations -Violet T. Ho; At: http://hum.sagepub.com/content/59/4/459.full.pdf+html.
As they talk about: having cohesiveness and the value between having a cohesive friendship network versus a cohesive advice network.
