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.
