Still, to some extent, I feel we "miss" some important things when we lead such a fast paced life style. The Internet helps us for certain; this book has just made me wonder about the disadvantages it has taught us as well! <br /><br />Kelsey, its funny to hear another girl agree with these Facebook problems. So many girls I know look different on Facebook compared to when I see them in school. It’s really crazy, in a scary way but part of growing up. I think Facebook pictures have become a problem with high school and college age kids!<br /> Allison SaffieCollege Writing IIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00705115102369923190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356542890019212076.post-33712024454262618742012-02-28T18:43:25.151-08:002012-02-28T18:43:25.151-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.asaffiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00943961018356746441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356542890019212076.post-40865345147306600612012-02-28T10:04:10.891-08:002012-02-28T10:04:10.891-08:00You make me think of an article I just read about ...You make me think of an article I just read about how people care so much about their profile pictures on facebook they have them photshopped about 40% of college aged girls have them photoshopped. It's crazy. All about liking a picture.

But I took a minute and noticed that realistically, as a society we are far more busy than we were before. For example, many years back people weren't running from class, to work, to the gym, to some sort of club meeting, to appointments and so on and so forth. But now we are. Our life styles are continuously getting more hectic. So maybe the internet could be helping us? Maybe for some who simply don't have the time to sit down and read everything anymore, they can now adapt to skimming. And for others who can find the time to read a book, well, I believe that if they really want to read something, they will. <br /><br />And I also saw that commercial, I thought that was a really good example for your post.<br /><br />- Michelle KrupnikCollege Writing IIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00705115102369923190noreply@blogger.com
