Cyworld vs. MySpace vs. Facebook (Korea's Upcoming Technology)

Today Korea is quickly becoming one of the leading countries in technology it's one of the highly wired and biggest broadband countries in the world today, and according to CNN it's the most wired country in the world today. In fact South Korea's technology is advancing so quickly that CNN did a special video coverage called "Eye on South Korea".

According to CNN every household in Korea and every primary, junior, and high school has broadband internet in Korea. There's free television broadcasts on cell phones; professional online gamers with rock-star status (that's how seriously they take their gaming); humanoids replacing hosts, clerks, nannies and sentries; 17 million members on Cyworld; and a robot in every home by 2020.

{Here's Some Videos on that Website that will Highlight what I'm talking about:}

• 'Korean Wave'
• Move Over Facebook (Sample of Cyworld Homepage: http://www.cyworld.com/hansinbi1004)
• Future is Now in South Korea
• Tomorrow's Technology is Today
• Superstar e-athletes
• Cyber Education Sweeps Korea

"My Thoughts": After watching these videos it made America's technology seem like something from the stone age, and as the reporter said it's so impressive how Korea has went from one of the poorest countries to one of the most advanced countries in the world today. It's exciting to think that we can hopefully anticipate these new technological advances in the future in America. However, at the same time it's a little sad to think that despite America being a first world country in comparison to South Korea our technology is so behind.
