New and Digital media (WEEK1i)


http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/sep/16/facebook-dislike-new-buttons

the founder of Facebook said that not every moment is a good moment so in order for people to express empathy he is introducing something similar to the dislike button. This article is based on Facebooks introducing a dislike button and then 12 other buttons that the public think facebook should introduce. some of them include some sarcastic buttons eg "your baby looks like all the other babies" and talking about in which content the public would use it for this example is used so that, the newly parents are not mislead, therefore used to suggest not being miss led.

  • "i give it a year" the most voted by the public for newly weds or people in a new relationship.
  • working on the dislike button 
  • has been requested since Facebooks first launch
  • its to express empathy 
In my opinion this is a good idea in some content for example when someones posting something about a tragedy it may be awkward for a person to like a post about a death or a tragedy, therefore from an empathy aspect it is a good idea. meanwhile the social media is full of hate and this may just increase the hate going around which may lead to further problems such as cyber bulling.
