I chose this reading this week because it connected with me the most compared to the other one. I feel as though I connected with this author because I do the exact same routine every morning. I feel as though as soon as I wake up I have to see what was going on while I was sleeping. I start off with texts if I have them at the time and move over to Twitter and Instagram , and lastly Facebook. I feel as if I was ever disconnected from any of these social networks I would not be able to function at all and feel that I do not know anything. I feel like when the author said " just imagine if we could be this good in person. Online, everyone has bulletproof social armor"; it is true a lot of people do not have such good social skills so they use online as their form of communication. Others think because its virtual that they cant be touched after saying certain things on social networks which is also not true. An example of this would be the show "CatFish" , many people try to mold themselves and say things that they normally would have trouble saying in person. Most people use social networks as a way to communicate with friends and family who might not live close enough to hang out on the weekends.
