Troubles With Facebook

Facebook and Twitter are so popular because they allow people to concentrate friends and ideas onto one page. They also allow people to shout anything they want into the darkness with minimal repercussion but recently people use Facebook and Twitter for business. But unfortunately when your friends with your boss and you want to criticize your work, you could get fired or go to jail. You have to watch out what you post or you could end up fired!


Our Perceptions

What is beauty? How do you describe colors (without using other colors)? What is average? These questions are answered differently by every person. Describing a color is hard when you cant use other colors. What if my interpretation is different than others? It would be confusing! How do we know that were talking about the same thing? It seems all too possible that we have no idea what we are talking about.

Genderized Music

If your realize it or not, music today is subliminally categorized within genders. Men usually listen to Rock (i.e. Metallica), Rap (i.e. Eminem) and Scremo (i.e. Broken Side). Notice that all these bands have songs about anger, sex, drugs and death. Through this classification these topics could be considered "Manly." On the feminine side we have R&B, Light Rock and Emo. These bands sing about love, marriage and a perfect world. These could also be determined as "female" topics. Of course, these are merely speculations at something far more complicated. Girls can like scremo or rock and guys can like R&B or Light Rock. But most people in the U.S. can agree that music today is aimed at certain genders.

Reality TV

Remember when MTV actually remembered what it stood for? Probably not, considering that was back in the '90s. Today, Reality TV is all the rage, with the fake drama, the orange spray painted people and the ridiculous stories. Reality TV shows are a sad reminder that today's youth merely cares for drama, pain and suffering.  Really?!  Indeed it is so. As long as it's poorly acted out by a group of trashy looking teenagers, of course. Personally, I love how parents today blame video games for the violence caused by teenagers, when really our behavior is influenced by TV. In video games, I kill fake zombies. On TV I watch people kill themselves and those around them for the sake of money and fame. So parents, what is better?!

Save the Internet

All of us have net neutrality, whether you know it or not. Net Neutrality means that every website can be accessed at the same bandwidths and no IP (Internet Provider) can limit that. So say Comcast wants its users to use Comcast Email so they cut off access or slow access to Yahoo, Google or AOL. Fortunately, its illegal to do so, but it could be changed! Comcast or ATT could cut off access to certain websites and charge to visit them! Take Netflix for example, if Comcast had the ability to limit Netflix you would have to pay to visit the site and pay for the service itself! Net Neutrality needs to be kept safe if you want to continue to visit any of your favorite sites without paying extra. Visit/Click Here for More Info: http://www.savetheinternet.com/
