Feedback: The Facebook goes Digital

Friday, July 08, 2005 - 11:42 AM

In the interest of (mostly) shameless self-promotion, I thought you might find this article I wrote for my college newspaper interesting. I think thefacebook is part of a huge shift in how young people form friendships and relationships. For instance, students now "research" their acquaintances and crushes. And that, in a weird way, has either eliminated smalltalk, or forces students to pretend to know less about people than they actually do from hours spent on facebook the night before. Besides the safety risks, this is very important culturally.
