In reading "MySpace Outage Leaves Millions Friendless," I was rather shocked. I hadn't previously known that people relied so heavily upon this type of technology. Some of the things that people said when questioned on their opinions of the outage seemed a little over the top. Marco Imbrescia, for example, said that, "Without an 'About Me' section, I've lost all sense of self." He no longer knew who he was and what he valued, or what he expected for the future.That's a little ridiculous if you ask me. I think social networking is important because it allows us yet another way to develop social relationships, but i don't think that peoples' entire lives and sense of self should rely on this one aspect of communication.
