Online Social Networking

Is social networking the great all mighty answer to all our networking problems?

Personally. I like it but not at the same time… is that strange? I don’t like the constant screens. And don’t like how everything seems to go back to technology , but that’s where people are at these days. Youwant to find near enough anything out you can find it online somewhere. That’s where most of the news is and weather, its where people ‘hang out’ and play games, and share gossip… its very very sad. It seems like some new earth defying technology might shock us all to the core, like how cgi now looks like real life (on screen). Everyone is insanely amazed, wow. But really. All we have done is gone the long way around making a image/video, of something we could have done anyway. Like everyone was so amazed when touch screen came out. You can actually write onto a screen. But just like lee evans says. “well let me this actual biro and this actual piece of fucking paper and write that down” ha ha, the way he says it is funny. However written on this screen, it appears he is one angry individual, he sounds unhappy etc. something that happens everyday through emails, text messages and on sites like face book. People mis read what we say. Some gossip may come in and a girl goe guess what blab la blab la and the other girls goes SHUT UP!... which is clearly easy to mis-read… is she telling her to shut up? Is it a figure of speech? Is she annoyed or thrilled?

Screens, do the same. They seem like lives in themselves but in actual fact the computers in my opinion should just be tools to you REAL LIFE. He he another rant. Man oh man.

Social networking is

· Fast

· Easy to use

· Very easy to access, as Wi-Fi is in almost every bar/ resturante, public place and university

· Its free

· You can upload and display images in seconds

Bad points

· Bad posture

· Screen/ square eyes

· Lazy

· Less full filling as sorting something out with a real person. The experience is diluted

· Rely on machines/ electricity/internet

· Images are often small or pixelated or blurred.

· So much more

Its where people are at. If your not online now. You could be living next door to the god of the arts council but he wont notice you if your not online because he is too busy on the screen while your watching him through the window.
