Hi!  My name is Elaina Gruver, and I’m from Dacula, Georgia (only about 45 minutes from Athens).  I’m living in O House, and right now I’m a biology major, but I plan to change it to exercise and sport science or athletic training  pretty soon, with hopes to eventually be a physical therapist or chiropractor.

Tetrad: Facebook

Enhances:  Allows people to keep in touch with friends and family who they may not see regularly or who live far away.  People can share exciting moments in their lives with the people who they chose, and many businesses have Facebook pages in order to raise awareness of their business.

Retrieves:  Facebook gives people the ability to keep up with their friends’ lives and to know what major events are happening with the people that they care about, even if those people live on the other side of the country.

Reverses into:  Some people tend to post too much about what is happening in their lives, or they post things that no one really cares about or wants to know.  (No one really cares that you’re going to walmart)

Obsolesces:  People don’t feel the need to talk to people in person anymore, or to even call someone. They can get all the information they need by looking at someone’s Facebook page.
