Todays reading about Facebook and Tweeter relates well to chapter 5 in Postman's book. Postman talks about The Peek-a-Boo World by stating(p.69-70). "Everything becomes everyone's business". "The telegraph is suited only to the flashing of messages, each to be quickly replaced by more up-to-date messages." Isn't this so true with Facebook and Twitter. As well, as the way we receive news these days. We receive information and news within minutes of it happening. Postman talks about television as entertainment. Maybe we have lost some interest and are bored with TV so know Facebook and Twitter are are newest form of entertainment. It seems to me that there are people today spending as much time on the web (computer, cell phone ect.) as watching TV. Postman states on page 92, Americans no longer talk to each other, they entertain each other. Facebook and Twitter are having effects like this as well. I understand how Facebook and Twitter are great tools and you can talk to people around the world. But, what happens, when your daughter sits home all day and "chats" on-line and never goes out and interacts? What happens when your employee spends your dollar "socializing" on-line instead of working. Again, I will state what I have said a number of times, everything in moderation.
