Someone to Watch over Me

This week I chose to do my blog on the reading piece, "Someone to Watch over Me" by Theodora Stites. I chose this reading because I enjoyed reading it the most, and sad to say I feel like I do more han half of the same things the author does. Like the author, as soon as I wake up every morning, I check all of my social networks and check what has gone on while I've been sleeping. I start with twitter, move to instagram, and finally facebook. Another part of the reading that I found to be interesting was when the author made the point of "there are no flaws in this world." Which is absolutely true. You can put whatever you personally chose online. You can filter your pictures, filter your text, filter everything. The author mentions the social networking life as somebodys "second life." In todays world I don't think too many people have social networking accounts to have a second life. I think like myself most people have social networking sites to connect with friends and just to tweet, etc. However, there is an exception, some people still do have social networking sites to have a second life. A good example of that is the MTV show, "Catfish." But I truly believe times have changed and most people use social networking sites to be themselves. Out of all the readings we read for this week, this is the one I felt I could relate to the best and that I found the most interesting.
