Well, because my family and friends are across the Pacific Ocean, I have never used email/skype/IM so much! I wake up every morning and have an email from a family member, which is nice because it reminds me of home. My Myspace has also never been so important to me because I can talk to my friends and see what they've been up to, and in return they can see my adventures in Australia.
My Skype...grrr...I have had nothing but problems with my skype because my webcam I have doesn't always work, and the microphone on it almost never works. Everyday I try to talk to my parents I get frustrated when it does not work, and then I realize that I shouldn't depend on technology that much. But, I will keep trying to work out my skype problems because hearing/seeing my family is way better than an email.
I have been using comm. technologies for a while now, it seems that they are becoming a must. Email is a great form of communication because of how fast it works, but it's also a bad form of communication because I feel like people don't converse like 'the old days' either. But, as time goes on it seems as though our fast paced environment (especially where I'm from), will be dependent on comm. technologies...
I tried for so long not to have a myspace/facebook because I didn't want to go along with the grain. But I guess I got sucked into the fact that having pictures, a cool song, a flowery background and some whitty sayings was just the right combination...I must say it is a cool way to keep up with old acquaintances, but I have also noticed it causes some unnecessary feelings too. But, I've noticed that my close friends and I never communicate on myspace...it's more or less for people who you don't talk to on a regular basis.
My myspace/facebook are both private and I only add people who I know. I still think it's a little creepy to have lots of friends who you've never met, and don't even know exist.
Cheers,
Noelle
