MySpace and facebook wow where do I start. Today in class we just went into the lab to explore both MySpace and facebook. I have accounts on both pages I was going to delete my MySpace account, but kept it because of this class. MySpace and facebook and pretty much the same exact thing people use them to keep track of long lost friends. You can meet new people play games do anything that your little heart desires. I use mine to stay in touch with a lot of friends that I made while I was in the Marine Corps and while I was in Iraq. So many people these days hate both web pages and I think it’s only because they haven’t actually tried them out. I chat with friends on both upload pics, which reminds me that you can use it as space so you don’t clog up your hard drive with tons of pictures. We were able to add the writing center on both pages and add people from our class if we wanted to. With where both pages are headed who knows what the future brings for myspace and facebook there’s really an endless amount of things that you can do with the pages. I personally prefer facebook though I must admit it is way better I think than myspace, but with myspace you can decorate your profile more.
I really cant think of anything more to write about it’s a lil hard to make a blog of 400 words. Lets see… u can poke, add, chat, email, upload, comment, message, like, ah!!!! Theres to many things to do with it. I think everyone should have a facebook, and all of the old farts pissed about it should just shut up because its not going anywhere yall just need to face facts.

Today we discussed: YouTube Videos “Killing Us Softly 3”; “Dove Evolution”; and “Dove Onslaught” Articles “Brazilian Obesity: The Big Girl from Ipanema” and “Health and Fitness: Snip, Suction, Stretch and Truss”.
The big girl from Ipanema wasn’t about one girl but mostly about Brazil as a whole. The whole world needs to face the fact that there is a weight problem. We need to start to watch the things that we eat. When u go to brazil it’s not all skinny girls in bikinis its more like fat girls and fried chicken. It talked about facts and statistics about becoming a fat nation.
The other article was about more health and fitness, and how people these days are no longer workout to get better bodies. They are just way too busy to get fit the right way. So they get plastic surgery done to make they look however they want to look. When you look at it you’re not really getting fit.
The video killing us softly 3 is talking about things that are killing us, and how advertising convinces us to get these deadly things. I think its funny how people always fall for advertising. The other video was about dove evolution. Is about how they take just a normal girl with no make up on and turn her into a pretty girl with using a computer, and turning her into something that someone would want to be. The last one is called dove onslaught showing a little girl, then showing fast pictures of all these models, girls working at the gym and some getting a boob job or liposuction. Then at the end it says “talk to your daughter before the beauty industry does”. Meaning if you don’t try to steer your daughter away from certain things she’s going to do this.
All in all today was a good day. It makes you take a look at all of the things going on in the world today. People are doing so much to their bodies and not worrying about the consequences. I guess that they will have to learn the hard way. I am for one against all this lypo and plastic surgery. If you want to get into shape work out eat healthy and do the right things don’t drink and smoke so often be smart

facebook wars blog 17
Today in class team one read and discussed the four articles. Colleges scan Facebook during admissions, Jury Out on Facebook’s Impact on Grades”; “Facebook Sparks Suspicion”; “Does Facebook Replace Face Time or enhance it. All of the articles were very interesting. Doing some of the things that these articles talk about could possibly start huge arguments.
The first article was about colleges scanning facebook pages during admissions. I really can say whether I am for this or against this. There are things that I think should be kept for only friends to see, but then again if u put it on facebook obviously you are proud of it and want the world to see it. When people see things on pages that are bad whether you want to admit it or not it will affect the way that people think about u. so students should be real careful about the things they post. Another option is to make it under a fake name so nosey people at college can’t see it!!!
The next article was saying whether or not facebook affects grades. I for one am getting sick and tired of these people that don’t like something trying to ruin it for everyone else. It really pisses me off. I think that it is the students self control not facebook! Come on people need to start taking responsibility for themselves, and stop blaming everything in life on the internet or whatever is popular at the time. It’s not students its old people who have a problem with new technology that is affecting peoples grades.
The next article was also about facebook. It was about jealous people getting mad about pictures and things that might be posted online. There were a few cases where fights started within relationships because of partners in securities. People need to start getting smart about the thinks they post. I don’t know if u have realized it yet but every old person in the United States has a problem with facebook. If your girlfriend of forever gets pissed and leaves your ass it’s no one’s fault but your own.
The last I hate facebook article of the day was about if facebook replaces face time, meaning that people do not spend a lot of time together anymore because any thing they have to say that just say it online. In a lot of ways that is true.
