08/21/16 – First Blog Post + Tetrad

Hello, everyone! My name is Mahathi Mula. I’m from Cumming, GA and I graduated from South Forsyth High School. I’m a Biology major and hope to go on to Medical School after graduation to become a pediatrician with a specialization (still working on that one). I’m super excited about my first year here and I’m hoping to make it a great one! 🙂

Facebook:

Enhances: Allows for constant communication between individuals through posts, discussions, and messages. Facebook is a massive platform for trending events concerning celebrities, politics, cinema, etc. Companies can use Facebook as a platform for reaching out to current and potential consumers.

Retrieves: One can keep in touch with many people, regardless of how close or how far they are. Helps to keep loved ones close no matter how far they are.

Obsolesces: Facebook replaces the one-on-one conversations that people could potentially have had in person. Creates a barrier between people in some instances because of lack of enhancing a proper connection. Every conversation is behind a screen.

Reverses Into: Hundreds of opportunities for cyber bullying, stalking, and privacy breaching.  When users post constant updates of their daily lives, it makes the user vulnerable and exposed, creating chances for backfire.

  1. I’d love to hear more about how people in the class use (and think about) facebook. Do young adults consider it a “geezer site” these days? (Err… I’m on there, posting funny cat memes for my mom, who’s in her seventies…)
