[QUOTE="Josephine, post: 2748582, member: 245811"] You could turn it around on your teacher and argue that social networking is far from stupid: That the entepreneuers who invented these sites pretty much read the public's collective mind, played on the psyche of the masses, and turned a small idea into a monster. And look at all of us, feeding right into it! It's a hugely convenient way share things and stay in touch with everyone. BUT that the HUGE downside to social networking is how dependant we've become on it. We're all slowly losing the ability to socialize normally, lots of people are reliant upon it to bolster their egos and build false confidence by posting hundreds of self-taken pictures making the "duck face", and it's replacing phone calls and visits. How long will it be until none of us can function in society anymore? Just some thoughts. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
