Blog #2: Addicted to the Virtual and Social worlds!
As I payed attention to the video clips and to some of my college friends, I noticed that we are all wrapped around in the games and the social networks. Games such as the ones like halo or any other games. I can attest to being around some one who is addicted to a internet game.My little brother would argue over the computer, he and his friends are all online playing the same game and occupying the telephones while doing so. A statement that stood out to me, was that the virtual world was effecting the minds consciously and sub-consciously. And as far as the social networks, I can say that it is now face book and twitter is on the rise. I absolutely believe that this is ridiculous. We are allowing the virtual and social worlds to interact for us. Instead of calling or actually going to meet up with someone, we actually hook up on the internet and have a relationship like that. I consider the two of these noise because it blocks the "face to face" relationship that we should have with one another. People can be on the computer for more than 3 hours during the day. Our days are wasted on these games and social networks. Its sad to say, but WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TOO!!!!!

I totally agree that facebook and twitter are "noise", I never thought of it that way but it definitely makes sense. And I hate when people fight over facebook or text messages, it's so dumb and pointless and really irks me when people try to start fights with me over texts.
