I have a Facebook page and most of my family does too. The main reason I have a Facebook page is for entertainment when I’m bored I just scroll down my comments and basically read all of them. Another reason I have a Facebook page is to keep in touch with family members around the world. Through Facebook I talk to my childhood friends who live in California, I talk to relatives that live in Texas and I even talk to relatives in Mexico. It’s cheaper to keep in touch with my relatives in Mexico through Facebook. I can message them and see pictures of them without either of us paying. Although Facebook is an easy resource to keep in touch with people around the world is not the same as having a real face to face conversation. Coleman suggests that “there is no return to an unmediated world, a bucolic face-to-face exchange…” We have got to take good advantage of technology and new media. Like Coleman said in page 135 “it is not media technologies that reposition us, but rather how we engage them…” Coleman theorizes to keep on moving forward just like technology has.
