Alice introduction

Hello, I’m Kevin. For me I still stand on another side. I’m positive to what Facebook has done to us. I think they are acceptable and I believe they will keep doing so. And before I start my presentation, I suggest you can rethink the boundary between individuality and the whole SNS, social network system, including Facebook, Line, Twitter and anything else. And the relation between them

 And to begin with, I would like to introduce the structure of SNS industry. In it, privacy plays the crux. It is the goldmine for the next generation. And privacy itself is also hybrid. It provides both incentive and support to the whole develop chain. And this two elements lead the whole development toward the two destinations. And what is the new destination? They will be more accessibility and less barrier. As you can see on this picture, these five elements work together. They are interconnected. One effect one another.

For the incentive aspect, I will say that: Less barrier in Facebook creates more room for business. And this idea has already been proved by advertisement companies and also SNS industry itself. Private data raging from personal data to all kinds of media is (are) the goldmine for next generation as I’ve mentioned. As the consequence, companies will encourage their users to share more information on the SNS platform. And, here, the barrier such as the misconception from the typed words or stiff media will become the obstacle for development. And these barrier needs to be eliminated. We can foresee that, in future there will be more services, tools and even devices to… to solve this problem. And we can even foresee, or even to put it more aggressively, maybe one day our SNS platform will be sellable, or even touchable.

Then I would like to talk about the support aspect. In the future, the cost to access SNS will drop. Most of us today, we use three C products, for example cell phones. Everyone here has cellphone, right? Yes (peer response.) And how many people here use I phone? (Raise hands) Oh nearly half of the class room. And I guess most of you know that I phone cost more than ten thousand, oh I think it is twenty thousand dollars. And it is quite expensive. Yes, we spend a lot on these 3C products. And also the internet fee is expensive actually. And these high cost somehow dissuade us from using more. To solve this plight, we can use the money earned from SNS system. The low expenditure will encourage customers to use SNS system more frequently. And here, we can watch the prediction from the founder of Xiao Mi (小米手機). You can see Xiao Mi is sought- after in China. As what 雷軍 has said, the real battlefield lies not in the hardware. Hardware is not the main point, but the software and services behind it. Cellphone is just the tool to access Internet. The same idea can also be adopted to the SNS world. 3C product in the future will not be the protagonist but the useful tool to increase accessibility.

In my opinion, less barrier and more accessibility will become the future trend. And it benefits both company and customers. And so, wel, generally speaking, Facebook should held (hold) their privacy policy. Thank you.

QA section:

Kevin: Tim. Do you have any comments or questions?

Tim: I have some thought. I think, as we use the internet. We must leave some tracks. Some people must can find them. So, if we want to protect our privacy. Maybe we shouldn’t leave track to that other people can find it.

Kevin: Thank you. Any other question?

Zoe: Can you explain again… You stand for Facebook’s policy for privacy, right? Can you explain again for the clip, your example about 小米手機. Why does it connect to your subject?

Kevin: OK. I… all I want to say is that as you can see, 小米 itself it is actually cheap. And many people will doubt that: how do you make money? And the founder has said, the main point is not on the cellphone itself. It just make the money by services behind the cellphone. And I want to connect it… I have asked the question in the previous support aspect. Uh… your cellphone today you use is quite expensive. And the high price will discourage you to use more SNS sites. Because you want to cut down on the internet use to save your budget. Then, with the lower price to access Internet, or to get 3C product to access Internet, it will help you to use more on your SNS sites. Is that OK for you?

Zoe: So why does it connect to the privacy issue?

Kevin: Uh privacy issue… Because of… Both Alice and me both agree that most SNS company, including Facebook, they make money from our privacy. So the privacy provides the money for both incentive and support. Yeah, it is as the picture says. Less barrier lets the company to make more money. On the other hand, they use this money to support the development. Once the cost down. The customers will use more.
