PBS Presentation

WOw!!!!! How crazy was that video! Ever since myspace and facebook came out, which was about the time that I was in high school, it seemed like the coolest new thing. You get to contact people from all over and see the lives of other people you don't even know, and people that you haven't even met yet. These days, it seems like you can talk to people all over with just a couple clicks of your mouse. With all these new technological advances, it is amazing to see how far we've come along, however, I do believe that our lives are now consumed with technology, but forall the wrong reasons. It seems as if we've totally become dependent on computers, cell phones, etc. There are many instances where everyone i'm sure, has come aross someone else in school on the computer for myspace or facebook. With twitter just coming out now, it seems like you can't even brush you teeth without letting someone know about it. Your whole life is documented on the computer and everyone gets access to it. I hope that this is all a fad and once its gone, its gone for good!

  1. i think even now that the elections are over, Obama's political team sitting on there huge success, sometimes get overwhelmed by the massive victory they just witnessed. A huge chunk of the credit must go to the guys who oversaw his online campaign.
    however going back to the video and the articles, few would claim that the social networking does not have its drawbacks. it makes us more aware of whats happening around the world but it has also demonstrated the consequences of excessive social networking.
