summarize today's articles.
This team presented four articles, the first one I am going to talk is about "does facebook replace face time or enhance it" this one talks about Jenny a mother of three children, ages 4 to 14 and rarely finds time for visitis, Phone calls or even e-mail, the full mom in upstate New Yourk regularly updates her status on facebook. A frind of hers said that after 24 years, of being friends now their friendship is relegated to the online world, filtered through facebook. Nelly Jenny's friend said that facebook has brought her closer to her already close friend, who she has little time to see because of the kids and work. She now know more about them that she did when she was in regular contact with them. So based on this first article I asumed that for some people facebook is a good thing to keep people in contact even though if they live far away from them. The sencond article is about "facebook sparks supicion among students" basicly this article says how easy to get you in trouble with you partner because if you are texting or calling another person, probably nobody will know that your talking with other person but on facebook you can see almost everything. It also says that couples are finding that old flames and flirty friends on the social networking site have a unique ability to stir jealousy and suspicious. The third one say that colleges scan facebook during admission. Students need to be more carefull with what they post about themselves online, because many college admissions officers are looking at students' online profiles before they make their final decision. It also says that about a quater of the universities polled in a recent survey where it said their admissions officers research prospective students' social networking profiles before extending scholarships to students. That means that a picture from a weekend party might cost a student a spot on a premier campus. And like Mark D. said that most colleges will do whatever it takes to recruit the right type of students to thier respecteve institution. The last article I do not know why but it is my favorite because research suggest that because of spending too mucho hours on facebook make students' grades go low and I would not talk a lot about this article because in my opinion our gredes does not depend on the hours we waste on facebook because I am always on facebook, myspace, metroflog, messenger and my grades are not decreasing but they are getting better avery day because I study hard. This has nothing to do with facebook, it all depend on the kind of student you are.
