People have myspace pages, and facebook pages, and livejournals, and blogs and everything else for a very simple reason.

They just want to be cared about.

I haven't seen you in years. Years. Unacceptable.

indeed. guilty as charged. which makes me wonder what people did before this era. relationships today are completely unique from everything in the past. i sort of worry what is going to happen if we feel no sense of purpose at age 12 apart from our ability to rack up a large number of myspace photo comments which we beg our "friends" to give us. where will we be in ten years? we all want to be remembered for something, or at least think we will be remembered for something--- validation that someone knows you exist now comes from the lolz comment you recieved

i have certainly had the same thoughts as recorded in your first paragraph

I'm not sure that differentiating between types of culture within a single culture is a good idea - you start treading on a tightrope, and if you trip you end up marginalizing culture. Which is impossible because culture is a lot more like stock than it is like different lifeforms. Each stock may be different, but as a whole it's very important to take them all into account when trying to decide what the state of the economy is

there is certainly potential, just like there is potential to better anything that is lacking. eh, so maybe i'm harsh.
