Social Networking

I personally think that social networks today are becoming more and more useless. It seems like they are more to keep someone busy while they are bored. Or give someone a purpose. I am saying this because social networks like facebook and mypace are meant to keep people social with others. But it seemed to me that when I didn’t have a myspace, (because one summer I was tired of all the drama myspace caused so I deleted my account and I had mostly a drama free summer) I had fun without it as well. In a way it is also good because you keep in contact with long distance friends. But I only made one to view pictures of friends and stuff, only because I am interested in seeing pictures of people. I don’t go on myspace and try to get a million friends and try to get 200 comments on each picture. I look at myspace as a place to share a little bit of information with my friends. But from time to time I do enjoy myspace but I am so glad I am not one of those “myspace whores” the ones that go on every chance they get and have these decked out profiles. If you go look at my profile, it is plain and simple. Because I am cool like that. The only thing that I concern myself with on my myspace is my pictures. I think it is because my fascination with pictures that drives me to do that. I am not the person who tries to get the best possible shots of myself on page. I use pictures that include my friends or maybe have been taken by my friends. But I cant really choose a side because I am on both sides. I think it can be bad if there is too much information about yourself on your page or something. And I am not really cool with very young kids having social networks because they don’t even need them. And to be perfectly honest, I don’t need a social network. I can do fine without one.
