Blog 7 Review
So far the learning process has been somewhat slim but what I have picked up I didn't know already has been very interesting. The information about the core friends and the 2nd tear groups and so on have been very interesting. The PEW Reports about the communication between those people hit so close to home with me because I am the same way. I would say however I have a massive leveling system for my friends that the PEW didnt cover. For the most part aside from the statistics I have been very familiar with the rest of the information shown. Like I said before I am very jacked into the "internet" system. Also reading about how the internet has changed the forms of communication

I can agree with you on being tuned into the internet. I work for a law firm, and I'm on the net day in and day out researching. If it wasn't for the internet and communication, I don't know what I would do. Thanks to the technology of the new age...Smile.
ReplyDeleteYes i also agree with being tuned into the internet! if it wasnt for new forms of communication based technologies like facebook, texting and email i wouldnt be able to talk to my friends as much as i do now. The internet makes it so much easier to communicate and multitask at the same time...i can be talking to a friend on facebook while texting with another friend and do my homework at the computer! i would be lost without all of this!
ReplyDeleteThe core and 2nd teir group fiends was indeed interesting. I hadn't thought about it in that way, but it makes sense and falls inline with how my core friends and other associates fit into my life.
ReplyDeleteYEah if you can't picture the ring of friends you're not looking hard enough :)
ReplyDeleteBefore the reports and the tier system, I never would have thought about friends or people i know that way.
