Review:

                       

                        In today’s environment we know from this generation how to use newly invented things like cell phones for message and even for calls and a lot more cause most of it has a lot of features already that's why it's still selling and continuously spreading to the market. PSP for a lot of new and 3D games. DVD / VCD player for playing music and movies. And a lot more. And since all of the items mentioned are in line with the new technology for today, and we do now that how each of them functions......And so in connection to this chapter, in this generation a most of us have internet in our laptops and even in our computers, using it was really fun and really amazing because of the different websites that we can see and we can try as well and that's the reason why this generation mostly students and even professionals speaks out on what they do, what's fun, and even what was the newly website.

 

                        Based on the book “longing” or a “longing” indicates “that something is missing in our lives. What is missing is the sound of the human voice” and this longing was occurs in the managed age. Age where business introduce management. Because as we all know that in business there are lots of functions that are interrelated to one another; Controlling, Leading, and organizing of their resources in order to systematized performance and maximizes efficiency in order for them to produce a productive product in the market place. I do agree on this chapter that there are tremendous advantages to believing one lives in managed world: Because its true enough that there's no room for error and for risk as well if we know how to managed our own world, if we really know how to deal with it.

 

              If you've noticed that everything in your environment works simply and works smoothly then that's the reason why things are managed into you world because if not things will caused you to be embarrassed. Maybe you here this kinds of questions “who cares about what I'm going?” and maybe you here this “It’s not fair!” Back then life said to be unfair.....but the truth it lots of things in life are not unfair.  There are lots of circumstances, instances like leave you feeling like there's no way out and no one understands your confusions in life; “and so the managed world will compensate you”. And lastly in a managed world you know how and what interest you.

 

                        But of course this is not all constant, why? This is because risk, injustices and failure are always there and so we have no assurance that everything will constantly and properly delivered in a manner that we expect it to be. And if it occurs its better if we don't feel like we are cheated by the world, instead be think that it wasn't always thus, of course that's part of living, that's a norm of living.

 

                        It became quite confusing for me when I've read the lines in this chapter that says “the truth is that businesses cannot be managed.  They can run......” I told my self why? I became curious already. Maybe because I've learned from my past business subjects that businesses needs to “manage” properly. And that lesson was already instilling in my mind and in my way of thinking. What I've understand with the line was that they can exist but beyond those executives that manages the business. I don't know if what I've understood was correct.

 

                        When it comes to “Professionalism” i do agree to the ideas of these chapter that professionalism do come because it is mandatory, because it is mandated by of course the management or the managed environment of businesses. That's why when we say professionals; we do know that it deals for those personalities who are in the high level of career standards of the society. And being professional was also connected for their jobs mostly for those who are in the business world and in a managed environment. 

                       

                       

 

                            We cannot deny the fact and its true enough that when we speak we hear our voice we hear what we say and more importantly we know that it sounds in human way. In more instances it's our way on how we communicate and how we express or react in a manner that we want it to be hearing by others. It reflects our strongest personality; because into our voice it shaped our own personality it shaped our soul. But our voices are the same just like the other even if we are in the business or in a managed environment. And if we noticed managed businesses taken our voices for the reason that it’s not just powerful when it comes to forces but also it was influencing force.

           

           

                        I think the reason why we immediately accepts t Web in our environment of today it's because it invites us to a world that can easily access information that we want, a connection and communication that most Filipino wants because of the culture and even other culture also, in the new communities where there lots of new things and invites us into a place that you can showcase, voice out or broadcast your own ideas in something that maybe others can understands.

                       

 

Learning’s/ Insights:

 

                        “Web provides a place like we've never seen before”

                       

                        “Web is a public place that is crucial”
