Quote: Today's college students are constantly reminded that their extracurricular undergraduate experiences posted on the Internet can cost them employment opportunities.
The emergence and subsequent explosion of social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube in the past five years has led to an increase in employers heading to the web when perusing lists of potential employees.
Paraphrase: People in their 20's consistently are told that their immoral upperclassman involvement exposed onto Facebook and other social networks can eliminate the chance for job experiences. The evolution and consequent eruption of these networks in the last couple years is creating an incline for employers going to these networks and internet to see what applicants for the job are really 'clean' and not engaging into certain activities that can cause a bad reputation for the business.

Quote: "The Internet has failed to turn us all into nerds. Despite the fears of some prognosticators in the World Wide Web's early days, we are not hunched over our keyboards, retreating to virtual worlds to escape reality, according to a new study published Wednesday [Jan. 25, 2006]. As a matter of fact, Americans are using the Internet and other modern communications tools to keep in touch with a wider assortment of friends, some of whom they meet in person more often because they can find them online." (Dallas Morning News) This article reveals that technological developments haven't replaced personal interaction and have actually strengthened personal ties, according to a study "released by the Pew Internet & American Life Project, a nonprofit group that explores the Web's effects on people."
Paraphrase: Social networking has deteriorated to create a society of "dweebs". In spite of the visionaries concern for the internet, leaving to believe we waste our time arched over our computers or laptops lingering around on the web. It is believed, from a study done in January 25, 2006, that teens and young adults are escaping actuality, and prefer our 3 dimensional virtual creation. the truth behind our reasons for accessing these networks a great deal is so we can stay in communication with our friends and/or family. These networks make it easier to get a hold of our friends in a more time quick way, and most of the time the virtual friends do meet up close in person. This shows that networks are not effecting face-to-face interaction among teen and young adults and it ascends the relationship more efficiently.

Quote: "Because so many people in their teens and early 20s are in this constant whir of socializing--accessible to each other every minute of the day via cell phone, instant messaging and social-networking Web sites--there are a host of new questions that need to be addressed in schools, in the workplace and at home. Chief among them: How much work can 'hyper-socializing" students or employees really accomplish if they are holding multiple conversations with friends via text-messaging, or are obsessively checking Facebook?"
Paraphrase: The million dollar question now is, are teen and young adults being affected by via text messaging and social networking? Students and people in the business are always posting and sharing their personal lives on to these networks where a large amount of people are allowed to access your profile to see. It has came to the conclusion that, kids at school and home have not been able to achieve all their work, and may be risking their education and chances to acquire their full potential to bu successful. Are kids and young adults infatuation for Facebook, Twitter, and their cell phones becoming a conflict in society?

This link is from DISCUS (South Carolina's Virtual Library). This is where i found my six articles concerning the affect and benefits on face-to-face interactions from via text messaging and social networking.
"The power of Facebook making connections easier than ever"
This article is about how the famous social network Facebook has made it easier to communicate and to "get things done" in a faster and easier way. It started off as a site for Harvard students to connect and interact online but it has spread over the last six years were people of all ages have joined and now has over 500 million users, the largest social network known.
"The greatest generation (of networkers)"
The article describes how young teens are becoming "obssessive" to texting and social networking. Texting and social networking has become a large part in our daily lives. A young boy was caught in class texting and when sent to the princibles office, he was caught texting once again while getting punished for texting in the first place.
"This is your space"
This article describes how private and public are blurring together and the young people's privacy are becoming public because of these networks and text messaging. These online networks are growing vastly in a short amount of time.
"Internet strengthens personal ties, pew study finds"
In this article, it is said by Crayton Harrison that these networks are benefiting us by strengthening our skills in all aspects. It has failed to turn us into nerds but its has us learning in different ways that we wouldn't have imagined.
"Always online--An eternity: Three days without contact"
This article describes that it is unknown that social networking is harming or benefiting us. They say that the percent of teens that would usually go to the mall for a date increased 5%; is this harming teens social interactions with their peers?
"Area police use Tweets to alert public"
Police are using Tweets to inform the public in their area of news or important activities that they should be informed about.

Expanding my knowledge
What I want to know about my topic is how via text messaging and social networking came about into our world thats growing remarkably fast in technology. Is text messaging and social networking causing conflict in society or is it benifiting us? Are people having a hard time recieving a job because of what they have wrote on their social network site? I also want see how text messaging and social networking is interfeering with face-to-face interaction during school and what conflicts and/or benefits it is having. If we are having troubles with our social networks and text messaging now, how will it be once we are in the year 2018? Are personal and proffessional relationships being affected because of social networking and text messaging? I would like to go more in depth with these questions and find out whether its beneficial or a conflict for society; if so, how will us, as a group do to change the problem?
