As the internet seems to be continuously expanding, there are more and more ways to connect. There is MySpace, Facebook, Mixi, LinkedIn,Twitter, Iknow, and many more just to name a few. There are so many in fact that it is hard to keep track. In addition, most people seem to switch between them so quick you are constantly having to create a new password just to keep in touch.

I will admit that many of them have gotten much better and easier to use. I feel that LinkedIn and Facebook are much cleaner and user friendly than MySpace and we seem to be heading in the right direction. They allow us to keep in touch with people from all over the world, but in some ways the relationships aren’t as close as they used to be. We spend less time eating out and meeting with our friends because we are spending all of our time leaving comments on their virtual walls.

Clifford Stall makes some great points in his TED speech that kids will have a great understanding of technology, but will never have gone bowling together. It’s quite sad really. You can watch his full video below.
