Technology outbreak...

In the world of communications, we are certainly media obsessed. We all go on facebook 24/7, text, skype, and write on blogs (like right now!). I feel like this has changed our ability to be able to communicate face to face. I find so many people that can text me a lot or write on my "wall", but when you see them in person, they act very differently sometimes. Why is this? I think all this media is really changing the way we communicate with human beings, and it's made us more socially inept, which is obviously a downfall to it. However, all this new media does have alot of upsides too, where people can stay in touch as much as they want, which used to be much more difficult to do. so which is better? none of these forms of communication or having it?

  1. completely agree, online people become much more open, and chit chatty. Once they are together, it seems sometimes that human interaction may feelawkward. But I have been keeping in Bette touch with m parents and brothers through email and face book,

  2. I would have to say that I like this form of communication. I have seen that people act differntly, but I also feel that facebook has opened a lot of doors. Things are a lot easier to see and I think it's a lot easier to stay in contact with people far away. Maybe some think that the old ways were better, but i think with some adaptation the facebook generation is a pretty cool one.
