Social what?


I believe that facebook is going to be a terribly somewhat good thing for the world. Facebook is an extremely powerful tool that helps kids and adults of all ages to connect with other friends. It also promotes something called "stalking." When you accept that you want to go ahead and get a facebook you are agreeing to be stalked by at least one person. I partly believe that people get a facebook is to put themselves out there for people to look at them. Girls and guys alike post photos of themselves that have been photoshoped to the point that could make Amy Winehouse look like Natalie Portman. According to the Los Angeles Times, "These women are more likely to base their self-worth on appearance and use social networking to compete for attention." I'm not going to lie its a great feeling when you know people are looking at your profile admiring you in your "purest" form.
What annoys me are kids underage posting photos of themselves clearly drinking or smoking when they are underage. They don’t understand that companies have just as much access to you profile, when your trying to get a job, as a 15 year old girl with a crush. I respect those who just get a facebook to JUST reconnect. I think that facebook is going to make creepers out of all of but also help us to meet new people and make new friendships. If I had money I would put it in Facebook stock.
When the day comes when Facebook crashes all together, it will be very interesting to see how the world was only a few years ago. Quiet. Phone bills will rise in order to fill that void of not having someone looking at you 24/7 or being able to show your bestie that lives in Alaska a sweet ice fishing video from you tube. Until that day comes I will continue to creep on my friends and make sure my sister isn’t talking to some douche that needs a talking to….<joke….but seriously…
