"FACEBOOK IN A CROWD"

This article, written by Hal Niedvicki, described the story of a person who had 700 friends on Facebook and no friends in real life. Based on this article, we see that online communication is changing the social structure of our society. Even the term "friend" has a whole new meaning online. Many who have a Facebook or a Myspace communicate online and then are unable to have a conversation in person. This article made me frustrated because it made me think about the ways in which we socialize. I have begun to think that the ways in which we socialize are falling apart.
