This article is basically saying that relationships are being affected by technology. It brings up the point that if we have 1000 friends on Facebook how many of those friends are we actually keeping in contact with. Another point is that the more time we spend on social networking sites the less time we spend socializing face-to-face.
Sometimes Social networking makes it hard for us to understand who our real friends are. I think most of us are past having an exponential amount of friends but we certainly are obsessed with how we project ourselves on the internet. It's hard for us to maintain relationships or meet people online without questioning the realness of it.
I was on Ayeshah's blog where she posted the following video: A Vision of Students Today It is indeed something to think about. Too Much Information As the video tells us, we 'browse' through so much information, it is almost impossible to keep up.

I liked this article because it talks about how we wish for things to be as fast as the internet. As we begin to get addicted to the internet, we get addicted to the speed and its altering our brains.
