Look around your room, technology is floating everywhere around you. You use technology on a daily basis; without it where would you be? Or who would you be without it? For instance, your cell phone is tucked away in your right pocket, and in your left, maybe an Ipod Touch. Godin and Shirky talk about technology that is changing our lives everyday and how it affects our mindset every single day. Godin talks about how people find things to change, pass on to each other, and assemble tribes that one person believes and passes on to another person and establishes a tribe or a organization. Godin really tries to persuade his audience by telling the people to change one thing and pass on to others. On the other side Shirky talks about how technology is improving and making it easier for people to use. Shirky talks how facebook, twitter, any other communication device helps people report news, but also how some news can be released that may not be true. Shirky and Godin have very similar ideas, talking about technology and how much easier it is to people. The difference is how Godin talks about how people should make a movement, and while the other says how technology is fast for news but can get caught up for the wrong purpose. Shirky use the China earthquake as an example to explain his techniques. He mentioned how the Chinese government said that an earthquake didn’t occur, but since technology expanded, the news were spread everywhere, even facebook and twitter. Godin used different examples such as pirates and tribes. Tribes have a way to set on movements of their beliefs and traditions and that is how their memories continue for longer.
