1. As the world adapts to society's new technological developments, communication also changes. In recent years, social networking sites have become a new form of interaction for people who could be anywhere within walking distance of another continent. It has become evident that these websites have become an integral part of our world. Yet have these websites improved our interaction with other people? Or are we heading towards further isolation? In the article "Facebook and MySpace: Complement or Substitute for Face-to-Face Interaction?" from Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking, Carlyne L. Kujath presents research on the effects of social networking sites (i.e. Facebook and MySpace) and their effects on human connection.2. The author designed this experiment to determine whether the effects of "computer-mediated communication" on relationships were specifically geared toward Facebook and MySpace. To begin with, he collected data on Internet communication as a whole. In one study, Carlyne found that the Internet can reduce communication within a family and increase depression and loneliness. However, this only occurs if the Internet is used only for computer communication. In another study, he found that "computer-mediated communication" helps maintain close relationships with others and helps form new relationships. Carlyne continues his analysis by discussing the two main forms of computer communication, which are social networking sites called Facebook and MySpace. . She points out that these two websites are different from other forms of dialogue on the Internet. Both Facebook and MySpace require you to know who the individual is in order to communicate with said individual. This is the show... in the center of the paper... ication. This does not mean that interaction between people within the family has decreased, but has instead transformed into a new means of discussion.5. Although the true effects of social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace on human interaction remain to be determined, the article still presents a fairly impartial, logical, and valid assessment of the possible effects. Carlyne has managed to allow the reader to get an idea of ​​whether or not Facebook and MySpace are actually used to meet new people or just to converse with friends. I was pleased to note that the author held back his opinions and allowed the data to form the opinion. Regardless of what the effects of social networking sites may be, sites like Facebook and MySpace represent an opportunity for the world to stay connected. It is these connections that have evolved our communication.
