Although I do have both a Facebook and Myspace account I feel that these networking mediums have outlasted their usage. So much so that people are using these online resources for all the wrong reasons. My purpose for joining the two so-called networking resources was not to meet new people but to reconnect with people that I had lost touch with since I've been in Florida and to establish another form of communication between friends that I already had. I have observed that many people use Facebook to meet new people for the desire of hopefully meeting someone they can have relations with based on a misleading picture. Somethings wrong when people who wouldn't otherwise step foot in the library only go so that they can sit in front of a computer screen and mindlessly look at pictures of strangers on facebook instead of reading a book.
One can easily spend up to five hours a day on myspace, but Marcus Garvey stated that we as Africans in America should spend fiver hours a day reading so that we can increase our knowledge beyond that of our oppressors. People worried more about having inattentive conversations online with pictures rather than walking in the world and meeting the people that surround them physically everyday.
Just another form of chains that mentally enslave the ethnically challenged of this imperialistic country. There's always something new created to kill the human mind whether it be drugs or facebook its all addictive.
