Think
What arrangements do you have to make now to be able to work on whatever you want to wherever you are?
It is necessary to bring my USB which contains a portable firefox. The main pages of the firefox
should be some pages on which I often work and to which I always access. The main pages keep me from spending useless time to access to the pages through some unnecessary links or searching.
Explore
I think that getting extensions lead us to use internet without useless time and to store information easily and safely. For example, bookmarks save us from spending unnecessary time by accessing to the pages which we always uses. And, Zotero is a nice tool to store information and pages which we are interested in. So, the extensions along with each person's needs will play important rolls in the life of internet.
Explain
Social Computing Key Questions:
1. What are the main skills needed to use social software?
It is neccesary to understand some terminologies of computer.
And it is also important to know how to save and delete information in a computer or a USB.
2. What are the affordances (what the software makes possible, what it impedes)?
It enables us to communicate with others in distant areas at private level. At this level, people can exchange personal information each other.
3. How can the technology be used to network professionally and connect users to learning resources?
The network at professional level and the connection between users and learning resources are established through academic homepages. The academic homepages mean official homepages of universities or of institutions which try to solve social problems.
4. What learned skills and understandings may promote your development as an effective learner in the digital age?
I think that it is effective to learn fundamiental terminologies of computer. And, learning HTML is better to be a good user.

The answers to Barabasi
Yusuke Umeki
Barabasi: The first link
Q1: The Paul’s success in spreading the Christian is due to use his firsthand knowledge of the social network of the first century’s civilized world from Rome to Jerusalem. In addition, he also used topology effectively to reach and convert as many people as he could.
Q2: Yes, I think that the events like this can be happened. It is because there is more combined and spreading social network by internet to communicate with others and tell them ideas.
Q3: The new kinds of maps made our interconnectivity by shedding light on our weblike universe. The interconnectivity reveals the relationship between people or between companies which have deep communication, even if they are located in distant areas each other.
Q4: The real surprise is that amazingly simple and far-reaching natural laws govern the structure and evolution of the complex networks that surround us. I am surprised by this because I think that our society and nature surround us is so complex that we cannot fully explain them.
Q5: The author defines the nature of most scientific approach in the 20th Century is reductionism which is a concept that complexity can be translated by simple words. The problem along with the approach is that people cannot explain complex things easily because nature is not simple structure and the components in nature function in many different ways.
Q6: The author states that the new view will be a web-based view of nature, society, and business. My view is not the author’s view. I think that there are some areas which internet have not yet covered.
