Hey! My name is Elizabeth Malcom and I’m from Athens, GA. I graduated from Athens Academy and am so excited to be at UGA. My major right now is marketing, but that might change!

Tetrad: Facebook

Enhances: Facebook allows people to share pictures or articles that relate to their current lives. People are also able to view what is going on in their friends lives, providing a way to constantly stay connected.

Retrieves: It allows people to keep up with family members or friends that may live far  away.

Reverses Into: When everyone you know is on Facebook, it creates pressure to constantly be uploading pictures that make you appear fun or interesting to your following online. People live less in the moment and are only worried about taking a good picture to later post online.

Obsolesces: Because you can see what your friends are up to online, Facebook eliminates the need to pick up the phone to ask what is going on in their lives.
