There are so many times that I will log on to facebook or twitter and see a post about something that happened. For example, my friend posted about the earthquake on the east coast a few weeks ago before I even saw it on the news. Things spread so fast over social media sites. I was looking at my twitter news feed a while back when I saw a lot of posts about praying for a certain country, I can’t remember which one it was at the moment. I actually went and googled to see what had happened. With the internet be so easy and quick to access a lot of the news is reaching to people in different parts of the world at a faster rate. Most of the news I hear about is from social media sites, I can honestly say that I have never gone to cnn.com or foxnews or any news website and actually read stuff for entertainment.
News about a social media site from a social media site. I have a facebook app on my ipod, so I rarely ever get on facebook on my laptop. Recently the newsfeed/setup of facebook changed, though I didn’t notice it. I actually found out about it because all of the people complaining about it over twitter. People are on one social media site complaining about another, talk about crazy stuff.
People are becoming so absorbed into social media sites. Some people are just constantly checking facebook or twitter or whatever. What is it going to help? now you know that someone you barely know is studying for an exam.. great next you are going to look at some pictures of a friend of a friend on vacation.. sounds like a good time.. except not. I don’t really understand how someone can be on facebook so much, it slowly turns your brain into mush! I wouldn’t even say that I look at my facebook that much, and I look at my twitter even less. People will do what they want to do so it doesn’t really matter what I think, but it is all ridiculous.
