two items of interest that i’ve come into contact in the past few days
#1–> people are becoming more concerned with their facebook info. and its not just the privacy issues in class that we’ve talked about, i didn’t even bring it up! a couple of girls i know are jacking up their privacy because 1) they dont want people to be able to track them down this summer after they move and 2) they are getting annoyed with poeple knowing when they are online with facebook chat.
i wonder how long facebook will last, if the trend will nosedive, or if my circles of friends will simply stop using it once we ‘settle down’
#2–> i dont think that technology makes us less personable to one another. i totally think that by having a cell phone, for texting especially, just facilitates my f2f social life. when i’m working and going to school all over tarnation, i can easily track down, or be tracked down by those who i want to be tracked down by! if i didn’t have my cell phone the other day, i wouldn’t have known that my friend steph was right around the corner at school and would have missed out on a lovely lunch. thank you technology.
