Social Networking


According to THINK by Judith A. Boss, ‘The internet is affecting daily life by reshaping social dynamics among young people” (353) I definitely agree with this statement and it has definitely had an impact on the way I communicate. Something I found interesting under this topic was points to consider when posting a message on a social network site. These include: What is my goal or intention in posting this message? Who is the recipient of the message? Include both intentional and unintentional recipients in your answer. What information is being conveyed in the message? What feelings and attitudes are being communicated in both the verbal and nonverbal messages? Does the message being posted enhance or move me closer to my life goals? (354) I feel like in a normal Facebook or Twitter post I don’t usually take any of these points into consideration! I put thought into what I’m posting but definitely not as much thought as the list mentions.
