Social Networks
In English this morning Professor Fulwiler had us do a free write on our topic. One of the questions was how your topic evolved and how it affects you. We were able to talk about stories involving your certain topic and how it relates to the argument in your paper. I started talking about how I was a big time myspace user. Freshman year of high school came and I finally signed up for myspace. All my friends had already had a myspace so as soon as I became a user I had a lot of friend requests. It made me feel awesome. As high school came to an end people started moving towards facebook because it was a more “mature” website for college students. My older brother had told me that you had to be in college to have a facebook but he was wrong. When I became a facebook user I saw that there were many high school freshman. They were just going with the flow of popular kids who decided they wanted a facebook. Today almost everyone I know has a facebook and most of my friends got rid of their myspace. With these two popular social networks comes plenty of dangers though. Identity fraud, sexual predators, privacy problems, bullying etc. These sites are still very popular among the younger generation even with the many dangers they can bring.
