Hey. My name is Shelby Abbott. I am a fourth year Sociology major and Technology and Society minor. Because I grew up on the internet I am very familiar with it. I have been using social media sites, whether it be Myspace or Nexopia since I began using the internet. So I am very curious to look at social media sites from a critical stance instead of just a avid user stance. For instance, the fades of the different sites, is there going to be something better than Facebook in the near future that everyone starts to use instead of Facebook, like it has been done with Myspace and Nexopia before? What are the major cons of social media? Do all the negatives have to do with the privacy issues we are beginning to hear about more often now? K cool can’t wait.

Thanks! Yes, it’s remarkable how quickly social media has become such a central part of our lives — & yet, given the nature of technology, that is likely to change, too.
