Learning Expectations:

-       I expect to learn what the author last chapter topic is all about. I also want to learn what it takes with all the learning and reading I have since I started it to the first chapter up to this. I also want to learn how the authors end up his book, did it affect everybody? Or it’s just him who’s very affected. I also want to know the routine of the entire story, does it connect even to the last chapter? Did it make sense? Did he mark on peoples mind? Lastly, I would like to know how I can relate this for my further studies.

Review:

            As an introduction, the author first resides on his side and speech on something that relates into the topics. He first implies a thing on how to listen, to some factors that he realized that there are a lot of people whose just being silent due to the fact that they have no power and strength to speak over what they want, its not because their scared to something or to someone, its just they don’t want to be the start of every invasions and problems happen.

            Its true and reality fact that listening to others taught have a big impact to the environment, even to some extent there are some contributors that are just roaming around and telling shit to others, their just part of losers, we should be the eye-opener to others, we should redeem their silence for us to know what they really want to happen. As he goes through the entire topic, he emphasizes something about the net, and it’s about how the internet became the medium of communication by most people. To some extent for the people who haven’t reveal their silence, they uses the internet to be the medium, to be the mean of their communication and the mean for them to be heard by most people, despite of the truth that the web is the unstoppable growing community, they have been decided it’s a very effective way to shout what they want, because they found out that if in the personal actions there’s a limitations, here in the web, they can reside to their freedom and tell what they really want us to know.

            To some extent, ignoring people can give you a very big problems, there are a lot people in this world we step that have great ideas about things around them but due to the fact that there are some people, or maybe most people ignore them, al those brilliant ideas became trash, for some, they just lost the interest of helping and telling to the environment what is in to their mind. For us to be more successful, let us all try to listen to them, their always their waiting for the attention they need, it’s really up to us how we do interpret them on behalf of their silence. They became invisible to our society just because we ignore them, but the presence? It’s always there.

            The author wants to emphasize something about the internet, how it blooms to our environment, how fast it dominates us and how does it starts. At first, the author reminisce the first chapter where in he told that the internet starts for the purpose of communication, but to some extent, businessman and other companies / organization, abuse the use of the web, they even the one who started the networked market where in it blooms and dominate the web, others get to mimic their styles, so until now? It’s being used by many, advertising, proposing, televising, endorsing, etc.

            Lastly, for the unstoppable growing and use of the net, it’s us that should be ceased in the errors and other problems, because were the one who abuse the use of it, even without knowing that there are a lot running on the web that gets worst due to the fact of how we use it.

What I’ve learned:

-       I’ve learned that, listening to the silence of others is an effective way to understand yourself and everything that surrounds us. I’ve also learned that, even the internet is one of the best source of information, it still inflicts to us that there’s always best source than no other at all. I’ve learned also that being selfish can create a very crucial thing to you, when the right time comes, it can even get worst than ever. I’ve also learned that people are the one that should be ceased for the things that get happen into the web, because they are the one / we are the one using it.
