Fake Book

 I think its funny that Roiphe calls Face book "Fakebook." I do agree with him that some people's news feeds on Facebook are fiction. I think sometimes people definitely put on a show for Facebook because of the attention that they receive from others. I think social media has definitely changed ourselves because it has made us feel the need to post things and share things with all of our so-called "friends." I definitely have a lot of Facebook friends that aren't truly my "friends." I hate reading posts about peoples personal lives..theres just some things you should keep to yourself. It's not surprising to see a girl from high school that’s pregnant or engaged. I just don't think at my age I am prepared to see those things.

From Harmon and Steinways reading about our cell phone usage. I completely agree, we are all WAY too caught up in our phones I feel like half the time people aren’t fully engaged when you are talking to them. It drives me nuts, whenever my sister is on her phone and I’m trying to tell a story or talk to her she has no idea what I said ever and then I find myself retelling the story to her. I think it’s hard for people to really live in the moment, just like that video “I forgot my phone.” The girl in the video is trying to have fun with her friends the whole time but all of them are texting or taking pictures of themselves instead of enjoying their time together. Sometimes we need to realize that living in the moment is more important than being engaged in your cellphone.
