Social networking has become and extremely popular element of our society. I belong to 2 social networking sites, Facebook and Twitter. I only avidly keep up with my Facebook page because I personally don't like Twitter. I might have a slight addiction to Facebook. especially since I have accsess too it on my cell phone. I constantly check up on what my friends are doing as well as post media of my own. Checking Facebook is one of the first things I do when I wake up in the morning and one of the last things I do before I go to bed at night. Even when running errands such as grocery shopping I am constantly checking for any new notifications. I have noticed that since I have started college my obsession has become a little more severe. This is due to the fact that my friends have all separated and Facebooks gives us a way to still keep very much in touch. I don't think my digital self is much different than my actual self. For one thing I know every single person on my facebook page, so if I were to try to create an alternate persona people would notice that who I am in person not who I am online. If anything Facebook give me a way to be more out going because you are communicating in a way that is informal and not as intimidating as speaking to someone in person.
I would say the same thing about Facebook it is something that your always own because you can go on it anywhere from your phone to your desktop back at home. With the distance being away from your friends I can see why you check it all the time.- Cristina Bastin
