Facebook

This past week, I was sitting in the library with two of my friends studying and having a conversation about our test coming up when suddenly both of my friend's blackberries went off because of a new message they had received. They had just both been tagged in facebook photos from the previous weekend. They began to laugh, chat and recapture the memories of the previous weekend by going through all of the photos in the new picture album at that very moment. Not having been tagged in any new photos I became an outside to their new conversation and was only left at the table sitting as if i was the only one there. As I sat and watched them go through picture after picture on the blackberry devices, I began to think of my MDIA 393 class discussion/ video we had recently watched. The video and discussion pretty much recapped how much time we really spend doing things we feel important as well as how tech savvy we have really become. With this in mind, I began to target these two girls I was sitting with as examples of our class movie. Instead of studying and working on the work in front of us, my two friends had to check their blackberries as well as their facebook the minute something new has come up. The time people spend the most with is their technology. It brings you to think what will be in store for us in the future.
