We all have an account on some interactive site that helps us meet new people or expand our social networks. We have heard of myspace, twitter, facebook, tagged, and other sites such as these. Facebook has now gone through an experimental phase where it is asking some of their users to change their privacy settings. They say that about 22million people they asked to change their profile from private to public, half of them changed it because os the so called "recommendation." Are we so blind not to see what is going on? We are so committed to these cites that either half or more than half of us is willing to comform to these changes. Facebooks creators say they are doing this because the world is changing. Hhhhmmmmm, well as we have talked about it in class, maybe they want these profiles public so that way when you are trying to get a job your employer can nose around through your personal life. I don't think we should all just go with the flow sometimes, its ok to question authority once in a while, but don't always conform just because the cite that you relate to tells you to.
