Koobecaf Assignment, By: Sydney Sutherland
Koobecaf is a world of its own and certainly has progressed to something that its creator, Mark Zuckerberg never thought it would be when collaborating with other Harvard students a few years ago. Mark Zuckerberg is only twenty-three years old and is considered a toddler CEO of his time, being offered by Yahoo! one billion dollars for the rights of Koobecaf and also Bill Gates has put down fifteen billion dollars just to own a small piece of this typhoon. In only four short months, Koobecaf expanded from simply the small, Ivy-League campus of Harvard to over forty campuses across the United States. The realm of people that Koobecaf has been able to affect, began with simply college students, continuing onto a broader realm of high school students and finally adults. Beginning as a way for people to stay in touch with friends, and to find lost ones is certainly not what Koobecaf is today. Koobecaf has changed the American culture throughout aspects of America’s integrated and dynamic system of adaptations that have responded to a combination of internal and external factors of Koobecaf.
Koobecaf would never be the community that it is today without the technology that America has accumulated throughout the past ten to fifteen years. Primarily the Internet, the Internet is not only our life but is our source of information. Information is spreading daily and is in the air just waiting to be grabbed out of plain sight. Koobecaf is a community of information about who we are and everyone is able to see it. We are able to view it on our computer, personal computers, and cellular telephones, this information sometimes being more personal then we would want. It simply is like a cyber biography with pictures and life stories. This technology leads the Koobecaf community to be able to view whom you are and what you do for a living, leading to a “projection” of what you offer to society. Economically Koobecaf is not a revenue producing community, but it is a network that allows individuals to know what other individuals are contributing to the society. The marketplace and banner ads are another key component of how Koobecaf economically is a stimulant to the American society, because it advertises things that are a want of the society. The networking and society that Koobecaf has produced is a network that exemplifies the capitalistic society of American infrastructure culture.
American culture though is built upon each social structure that Koobecaf has changed many aspects of. Particularly speaking with political organization, before Koobecaf, politics was generally media based, but today candidates are able to target a different culture (Koobecaf), and gain a different dimension of the vote. Koobecaf has gained these candidates citizenship along with others, politics was once an “old mans” realm but today Koobecaf has made politics more of “everyone’s” realm. Social organization of Koobecaf is very “racist” if I might say, divided up among which university you might attend, the town you reside in, or the high school you attend, these being the broadest groupings and then divided by the groups of Koobecafians who enjoy the same activities or what not. The social structure is quite possibly a parallelism with the American structure, but Koobecafians don’t quite realize yet. Family structure of Koobecaf can be seen very well when we look at an individual group of university students, usually the forums and discussions that are posted for the Koobecafian society have a leader who is outspoken and leads the individual society. Beyond this structure we are able to view relationships between these individuals, and through Koobecaf we can keep an up-to-date, attentiveness to “who’s with who” and “who isn’t”. All together the organization of Koobecaf’s social structure is publicly open to all, versus the traditional society that is slowly fading in America.
Koobecaf has changed American’s into a different society, society is not what it was fifty years ago. As mentioned in the social structure of Koobecaf, Koobecaf makes our lives more public than they have ever been. Our core cultural values of keeping relationships and other things more reserved has become something that Koobecafians don’t bother with anymore because of adaptation that has created a dependency we have for Koobecaf. Beliefs of love, friendliness, relationships, discussion, and personal connectedness has been lost through Koobecaf, sometimes the realization of how it has affected us, makes some think society has lost a key component the American culture. The ideas in Koobecaf have been centered around this society and sadly knowledge is not a top idea. Our ideology of America has changed through the Koobecaf lense, our politics has turned to a different way of campaigning, and Koobecaf has set different beliefs in America that some might believe and might not.
Koobecaf has changed American culture from a society that is dependent on a simple “culture”, focused on discussion and thought, while today American people who engage in Koobecaf, are dependent on the culture it has created for us. Our integrated and dynamic system has adapted to Koobecaf and made it apart of our culture because of our dependency on the “Internet Society” which has in someway became a new way of communication and networking for America’s culture.
