Social Networking 4/20

This is a magazine article from Time magazine. It states a lot of interesting facts about facebook and how it is used. In the article is stated “It's a website, but in a sense, it's another version of the Internet itself: a Net within the Net, one that's everything the larger Net is not.” This article truly made me think about facebook as a whole. It talks about how facebook is a way to learn all about you. You are basically giving away all of you information; we are living in a world without secrets; it is practically impossible to hide anything these days. Time magazine is also a creatable source because it has to be checked before it can be published. It is also a highly looked at magazine and it would be very shocking for the readers to find out that some of their information is inaccurate.

  1. yeah, we talked about this one in class. Everything except for the last "book" statement was good, i dont know what your thesis is, but this could really help when discussing privacy.
