The social network was better than what I expected. It incorporated betrayal, friendship, politics, and other crap which if it was a book, would be way more interesting. I would like to say I would describe myself as the character of Eduardo. Very loyal and trying to help everyone even if that meant I was not being benefited. SCREW being Nice!!! But on a more nicer note Eduardo did venture off at one point and did his own thing in new York, kudos to him!. 
            Even though Mark (main character) did not see how big Facebook would become I could see by watching the movie that somehow his obsessive behavior would result in a broken friendship reaching its peak. (so young yet so obsessive). In books, there is always a smart bastard that messes up the best relationships they have then reap the consequences. Which how many friends mark had left?  (umm none) oh okay. I rest my case. J  why must people go off on a tangent and create a character on social sites , knowing they have identity issues that are picking at their guts. I mean it's not a crime to not know what life has in store for you; it's okay to be geeky and indulge in Greek myths or love to sit by the lake and reminisce about life (idc that’s cool in my eyes). Can someone tell me where the non-virtual bastards are? Because I find it hard to differentiate between whom is real and who is fake.
            I just felt very bad for mark; he created this wonderful yet dictated website due to him wanting to bash his ex-girlfriend that dumped him. CONSEQUENCE 101: he lost himself in the process. So basically he created a site in which people NEEDED to CONNECT. Why mark just why? Now people have become these online aliens that only can operate on the basis of a website. now I feel the need to conform. This is exactly why I can't go anywhere without my darn phone. sigh!!!!!! On that note: im on fb… bye J

"The nostalgia of the young" ahhh sounds refreshing such an interesting phrase and a catchy title at that. I must say Turkle did this reading justice. I could relate to this reading. I'm sure all the nonfiction and fiction characters in the books I have read can agree with Turkle that the young has lost their identity. In all the books I have read all the characters somehow lost their identity maybe not to technology but had some kind of trouble finding who they were. They yearned for simplicity in life but found it hard. Now let's talk about this technological society which we live in. it's pure madness I tell you!!!.
            I wish that technology was not around sometimes because people have turned into computer nerd's geeks whatever you wanna call it that’s what they are. I am a social person and I cannot spend my life on the computer. Wait forget it I'm on the computer every day of my life. lol I swear computer and, texting is a bad habit that people refuse to break. When I am doing HW I find it hard to concentrate and where do I end up on freaking Facebook procrastinating. The darn social sites I can't stand it, if it was up to me I would read books all day all night get lost. I personally think we do not need technology sooo much as we think we do but will anyone ever try for one day to leave their phones alone I doubt it!!!!!. Heck is wrong with people, next thing you know we have robots teaching classes in 2012.
             I do think that we all lack something so we try to stay connected. Just like authors use writing as an outlet to stay connected with the world and to gain attention through story telling. today people find the need to stay connected as Turkle says and it is true but what are we staying connected to….(silence) nothing I don’t think. I think we are trying to find a wrong connection instead of connecting with ourselves first mentally.
