Quest 8

So, I have tried the MySpace thing and it is cool! I contacted friends that I haven't talked to in a few years. But, then I just couldn't find the time to go back. I am on the computer at work all day, so I don't want to be on the computer at night. I can understand how lots of my friends do this when they get home, because they work at a restaurant or somewhere other than a desk. But, I just cannot sit at the computer anymore when I get home. Now I have guilty feelings about getting in touch with people and then vanishing again. Oh well, I guess not that guilty because I'm not making that much of an effort to change.

Social Networking is an odd concept for me. I can understand the value of it. Several of my friends use it to meet people from all over the country. I guess they have fun with it and with meeting new people that way. Maybe I just don't have that much of an urge to add to my friend base.

Aside from what I think about it, I know that teens and even kids younger than 11 are using MySpace very regularly! This is THE way for teens to network. There are obvious dangers, but there are even more benefits. Technology based jobs will be the best way to make a living in the future and the sooner they get used to that the better!!

So, even though I don't care for social networking, I know that there are benefits and it is a valuable tool in the world as we know today!
