Social Networking has become one of the most time consuming parts of our lives. Facebook, Twitter, and MySpace all have taken moments if not hours of our day to check on our status or see who wrote on our wall. This media technology can be summed up as way to stay connected with old friends and make new ones. The idea that you can have a network of friends available at your fingertips is very attractive to busy people these days. A lot of times we don’t have the time for a phone call or a text message. Facebook allows you to say something to someone without having any fear that they will want to actually carry on a conversation that may take up too much of your time. The ability to exchange information and update all your friends with one single post on your wall is great. You can still let people know what is going on without having to call or text each one of them individually. There is a difference I have found to Facebook friends and real friends. A lot of the people that are on my friends list on Facebook don’t have a chance of me going out of my way to see in real life. But that is okay we can still be friends on Facebook. Never know may need a favor from them in the future. I think it is important to realize what is on Facebook is not the real world and the friends that you hang out with on a daily basis are much more important the number of Facebook friends you have on your account. But then again it still is fun.
