This past semester, I sat in a Developments in 20th Century Fiction class discussing the 'Social Network' in contrast to David Foster Wallace's 'Brief Interviews with Hideous Men'. The topic revolved around how people were losing touch with the world surrounding them. Despite the fact I have not yet seen 'The Social Network', my professor brought up how everyone in the theater laughed when the creators of Facebook discussed their Livejournals.
How times have quickly changed from when LJ was the center of the social networking world. Now people turn to Twitter and Facebook for quick blips of information instead of lamenting and expressing themselves through their own words. I cannot remain scott-free from this phenomenon. I have a Twitter and a Facebook that I avidly use.
I suppose if people wish to share their ideas and daily lives, they now turn to Blogger and other blogging websites. I still miss the days where I looked forward to posting on my Livejournal. Even though I hardly pay any attention to it, I will always associate most of my high school life and memories with the words I etched in this cyberspace niche.
