Papers..

So I am horrible at writing papers and the like. I do really well with narratives and freewrites because I can just write what I feel and how I percieve the world around me. Our next assignment is an argumentative paper and in order to do my best I've decided to write on the issue of myspace and facebook and internet profiling and all that jazz. This is a subject I feel I have the most emotion, care, decisive standpoint on.
I love being able to go online and make jokes and chat with people when it's inconvenient to be in actual conversation. I greatly prefer to speak with people directly but I can't always be where my other friends are and with as many friends that I have its sad not to be able to stay connected with them. In these ways and others online social networking can be a major benefit to those individuals with a busy schedule and getting in touch with friends.
Other times though online social networking has become so popular that some people are what we call "addicted" to checking facebook status' and posts that the whole idea of it becomes ridiculus.
There has to be undertanding and a knowledge of how much facebook and myspace is enough. When people let it get to extreme points and even stalkerish, it becomes too much. From my point, none of that makes sense because people should have enough sense to moderate and be intelligent with the technology we have been accustomed to. I am not excited about writing another paper in all honesty but at least I think I can do well and get into this topic and argument.
