Hey, before reading your post I had no idea what you were like, your likes dislikes, etc… After reading it I was able to learn a lot about you as an individual, and your thoughts on the digital/electronic world as well. I like how you compare yourself to others; I am able to figure out how you are different and similar to others in many ways.

Like many you feel like Myspace, Facebook and Twitter are not interesting at all. They only take up your time but will never help you in the long run. To you your I pod is your life, and without it you do not seem to function properly. Even though some things seem useless to you and you feel like many people abuse the use of social networking sites, it seems to help you keep up with long ago friends and acquaintances.

Even though you are not addicted to the use of these social networking sites, you are absolutely addicted to music just like many others. You cannot be recognized without Ipod, it is a part of your life and you carried it everywhere possible; until you lost it L. I think that you are the person the people at Apple are looking for. You love their products and have ideas for new products as well. They would absolutely love you, and thank you for all your help.

Before posting anything for others to see, you should try to proof read all the text you have written. To develop your thoughts you should answer questions about how the digital/electronic media has changed you as your own person. How do you think it affects others around the world? How would you be different if you had no access to any of it? Would you be able to survive? Why do you think digital/electronic media was created and do you think it should have been created? This will definitely help you deepen all your ideas on this topic.

Reading your thoughts creates a question in my mind, how does my life relate or differentiate from yours? We both like to use the phone and Aim when needed, but do not abuse these materials. Social networking sites are okay to spend our time on for a limited amount of time to catch up with other people, but we do not like to update our lives and let others know what we are up to daily. Even though I like music at times, I am definitely not addicted to it. I think that music for me is a tool to concentrate or relax, but at many times it is unnecessary.

Thanks, I was able to learn much about you as an individual in a small amount of time, I would like to read more about your thoughts in the future.

Remy,

Your first post is pretty amazing. You go back into history as well as staying on the topic of our modern world today. You relate many of your things to random acts (“Even if what we have is just a funny video of a cat, there are still thousands of people out there that will be happy because you shared it”), but they seem to help me understand your thoughts a lot.

You seem to want the digital/electronic lives of ours to have been provided for those who lived before us. You feel that when you are online, people base you on your thoughts and personality, other than your appearance. Without the use of the internet, you would not be recognized for your uniqueness.

Your thoughts on the digital electronic media are the same as those who love this aspect of today’s life. Without this same thing in common you wouldn’t be able to come across new people online, in which you are interested to learn about. Without the use of the internet, you would not be the same person as you are now.

Even thought your grammar is perfect, you do not talk much about how you would be a different person if you had no access to the digital/electronic products surrounding you these days. Would you be able to live without such use? You brush up on some of the history (Romeo and Juliet), but it would be much more interesting if you expand your thoughts on how the digital/electronic media would have changed history as a whole? Also, you mainly talk about the internet, what about other digital/electronic materials?

By exploring your thoughts and feelings on this topic, I am able to see how we are similar and different at some points. We both like the use of the internet, but do not abuse it. You like to meet new people on the internet, where as I only talk to people that I previously know.

It was nice looking at your thoughts on this topic; I am interested in hearing more soon.
