Smallish Post #1

Facebook has undoubtedly affected our lives. Well, at least for most of us. We have revolutionized how we interact with our friends and associates due to the great influence and change that social networking has wrought. This shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone, but it should be on the forefront of our minds. What would the world we live in be like without the social network buzz? Would we be better communicators , more able to express ourselves in public? With the growth of so many social network we need to be aware of the effects that they have on our society. I believe that social networks have changed the whole dynamic of how we express ourselves. Social networks have hurt our ability to articulate words in person, but have granted us access to binding friendships that far outweigh any cost. Facebook has blessed my life with the ability to keep in touch with friends from my mission with whom I otherwise would have lost contact.

  1. I agree with what you have to say here - I think that while social networks and other technologies (such as texting) have hurt the ability of the rising generation to communicate orally, it has also led to a level of inter-connectivity that will be essential to the continued furthering of technology and education.
