Observation #10

Facebook to me is just another way to communicate fast. Like texting, twitter, and instant messenger, facebook is a distraction. I do have facebook and I spend a lot of time on it, updating my status, figuring out what’s going on at home, but is it needed? I was just fine with my phone and the word of mouth. The ability that media has to connect us with the rest of society is an appeal that strikes everyone, whether they like it or not. We like to know what is going on and have it at our fingertips. Before I had facebook I felt like I was missing out, but I was just as in the loop as any of my friends, the reason I got it was the thought of loosing their friendship because I was moving away for school. Facebook, as a distraction, leaves the media wide open to usurp its ability to advertise. This is the way the media is moving slowly but surely into every aspect of the internet.
