This is simply a review of the new movie "The Social Newtork." Since we have been talking about identity I thought it would be interesting to discuss our generation's identity as a whole. How much of an impact are Facebook and other social networks going to have on the identity of our generation? Will we be defined by Facebook, Twitter, etc??
Interesting article, it definitely relates to our generation. At the end of the article I agree social networking can be used to create awareness for the needs of helping others and as a way to keep tabs on others.
ReplyDeleteHowever, as a "facebooker" I hate facebook. I spend too much time looking and being curious of everyone else's lives then focusing on my own. It's also creating problems with the rights of privacy. Many work places scann facebook to see if the person applying for the job has a good "image".
Don't get me wrong I do like facebook, but the more I use it the more its a love hate relationship. I hate how I can identify someone in a crowd because of facebook, or make my own accusations about someone's identiy through facebook. However, I do like facebook because it's a great way to keep in touch with others.
Sorry feel like I got a little off topic ;) But I sure hope this isn't how we come to use identity.
