Socail Networking

Social Networking to me, is probably one of the most important ways to communicate in my life. From being on facebook, texting, and other forms of online makes up a good portion of my day. Only a daily basis, I am texting all the time throughout my day, and can't keep off of facebook for more than three hours. With my phone, i rarely use it for calling. I would only call someone if it was really important, or I need to get a hold of my parents. Its main use is just for texting friends, or using the Internet for facebook. Either than that, it's useless to me. With facebook, its just another form of contacting friends. You get to see about them, photos, videos, what there doing, etc. I find that this is one of the most interesting sites because you can see so much about a person, that you would never get to see or read in that quick of time. It is way easier than going to see someone in person, or call them, or email them. Its just the fastest and easiest way. Tecnology today is all about speed. People want to get what they need as fast and easy as possible. The news ways of Socail Networking help accomplish that task.
