Global Communication

Networking websites such as Facebook and Myspace have really revolutionized how the youth of today interact and communicate. I can't even remember what I did with my time when I couldn't see what all 400 of my closest friends were doing every minute. When put this way, it does seem like Facebook is an insane concept, everyone putting there whole life out on the internet in order to see the life of everyone else. This sort of networking really does have many advantages though, first of their is the entertainment of it, as noted by the fact that I am on my facebook 24 hours a day. It allows for the easy sharing of pictures, the daily posting of notes to keep people up to date on life, and all sorts of things that i'm not gonna tell you about because i'm sure you guys already know. I just find the whole thing incredible on a macro scale though. Now that everyone in our generation is connected with everyone else, the possibilities seem limitless. People from every corner of the globe joining together in a group for a common cause is very incredible. People are creating new holidays at random. There seems to be a new hug an (insert personal characteristic here) day every week. It's just incredible what we can do with it, and it seems like new uses for this global connection are coming out every day. It will be interesting to see what the nature of Facebook is 20 years from now

Is this what you're doing for your research? Social networking in the future.

That would be an interesting topic.
