Artifact 6- I Am Anonymous

Watching this video kind of made me confused about what the website 4 Chan actually is but as the video went on I started to understand it more and more.  I had never heard of this website and the only thing I can really relate it to is Wikipedia.  People can go on there and edit or create pages about everything someone would research.  I guess 4 Chan is different from this because people post anything and everything they want without fear because everything you do on the site is anonymous.  I think this is a good idea to get people to express their feelings or ideas they have, but I am not sure of what good it really does because no one knows who said it or why.  I can see is that it is good for self satisfaction and entertainment but there is no credibility.  It does seem kind of interesting and fun to look around on or try out sometime.  I think it wouldn't always be a good thing because like Chris said, people put up anything they want and a lot of the time the content is inappropriate.  I do believe that most people overlook that kind of website because we are so wrapped up in social networks.  We want to see people's faces, what they are doing, what they have said, ect.  In return, we want people to see our face, what we have commented on certain things, and in some cases we want people to know what we are doing and who we are.  With 4 Chan you cannot get the same thing because it is all anonymous.  So yes, I do believe that 4 Chan has its ups and downs but I know more people would be interested in using social networks and other similar sites because they do not want to be anonymous.
