What Matters in America, by Gary Goshgarin, there is an article by, Kate Beals, named, "Faceless on Facebook!" The article portrays how we really put ourselves to be seen socially over the internet. To me i totally agree, the reason I agree is that we only post about what we positivly do or see. Nobody really explains on how we have to pay our house notes, car title, or how some struugle to catch up. The statuses we post only shows what we want to tell you (the reader); for exple, got a flat tire today! is only baout the worst thing you might read that we post. But as the publisher we decide to put what sounds most intriguing to the reader so we will not intentionally bore you. The images we post is that we live life with no worries and everything is great on the other end.
Great job getting your blog up and running. I added you to our class blog list now.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with what you are saying here, people mostly post the good things that happen in life, and the joyful things. But we all have a balance of good and bad times, and yet on facebook or Myspace, etc--everyone's life is carefree and easy!
