Maurice Slot answered on the question "Since people constantly 'like' things on Facebook, what do you guys think about adding a 'dislike' button?": Although many Facebook users would love this feature, it is never going to happen.

Kunnen robots de wereld overnemen?
Persoonlijk denk ik dat robots de wereld over zullen nemen, maar ze kunnen het nog niet. Ik denk dat de eerste stap richting de overname van robots het cyborgism is. Hierbij worden menselijke onderdelen vervangen, of verbeterd door machines. |

Hoe is sociale media ontstaan, vanuit een technologische ontwikkeling of vanuit sociale ontwikkelingen?
Persoonlijk verwacht ik dat dit zal zijn vanuit een sociologisch aspect; de ontwikkelingen op het gebied van mobiele technologie versterken echter wel de verbinding tussen mensen. Veel social media sites faciliteren een vorm van dagelijks leven, waar dit vroeger zonder social media gebeurde. Een mooi voorbeeld hiervan zie ik altijd… |
