Online Society ( Youtube, Facebook, Etc.)

People live their life for the internet these days. Youtube is such a big deal in this day and age. You see new videos being put up every day on Youtube. For work, school, athletics, etc. Youtube helps you advertise a good amount of things in your every day life without paying a crazy amount of money for it. Facebook is probably the site that either everyone has or has heard about. This is the site that people love to meet people on and love to keep up with their good friends. Facebook is really taking off and hurting myspace big time. Myspace used to be a big site for teenagers now facebook is pretty much myspace but more of a mature setting and you get to meet people and keep up with others that you already know. Facebook is always updating it and making their website better because they know that they are on top and people want to be the best and you have to beat the best to be the best. I personally enjoy facebook because  a lot of my friends have it, my family has it and I am able to keep in touch with them so that is always a plus. I bet if we were to take a poll of 100 20 year olds in college the first site that they get on when they get on the internet, 90 percent of students would say Facebook because its a new age and people want to always be in the know and see what their friends are up too. Twitter to me might be the most pointless website on the internet. If you are so bored or so into yourself that you think that people really care what you are doing every second of every day than there are bigger problems that you need to handle.

Online Dating and How it is Risng all over the world

Online dating is rising in the United States and all over the world. A lot more people are getting married, and percentages are rising year after year with the usage of these websites. To me these sites are a bail out because people can't find the courage to get out in the world, meet people, and create relationships the way that they should be created. To me the people that are using theses sites also have a hard time meeting people so they use this which I can understand. I am pretty sure that there is someone for everyone in the world, it just depends on how hard you want to work to find that special person. It isn't shocking that the percentage of people that use dating sites are so high. You see a lot of commercials about the dating sites on tv or on the internet, and the commercials are doing a very good job of advertising the commercials and trying to persuade the audience that dating sites are the new way to go instead of actually meeting someone in person. It doesn't really bother me too much, but the way I was brought up I am just used to introducing myself in person and having a full on conversation like a man. As long as you are happy with the person that you meet either on the dating sites or in person than that is all that matters. There are so many different ways to communicate and meet people these days that its almost the norm on meeting people. If not through a text message its thru facebook or dating sites, so there is no wonder the number of people meeting each other online is going up every year. There is always another site being created online to meet someone online. For example, every day after basketball practice the first thing I do is check my text message to see if anyone has contacted me. Its just a different culture this day and age that people check there phones before they start a conversation in the locker room, in the workplace, or anywhere for that matter. Online Dating is not a bad thing at all, I feel like it just paralyzes our communication skills as people and that is a problem.
