We spoke about social networking and how it affects people and how we don't realize it sometimes. Great example: Facebook. The new Myspace. Way back when, Myspace was quite the rage, I mean even new movies coming out in theaters had Myspaces... well now, there's Facebook. In my opinion Facebook is much more user friendly, accessible, and stalkerish. I remember when I first switched to Facebook all I kept thinking was "wow, this is creepy stalkerish". You could see what I commented on So-and-so's picture, what I wrote on that person's wall, and many more other personal things you probably wouldn't want someone else to see.
When we looked up about the book The Facebook Effect and what it dealt with I realized that Facebook isn't just a social networking site anymore. It revolutionized into a new way for business to hire, a requirement even for a job overview. The Facebook Effect affects everyone with one, people are beginning to be judges on their profile pictures and info on Facebook rather than an interview a company would conduct. It's scary but true. I guess this is just a reminder... beware the Facebook effect.
