Can I Facebook That?

I read the article titled "Can I Facebook That?" written by Mary Ellen Bates. This article first caught my attention because I happen to be one of the millions of college students addicted to facebook. Our lives are all put in that little space of ether. Our past, our pictures, our friends, our future plans, our relationship status, and our families.

In this article Mary Ellen Bates discusses that the millenium generation has this idea that everything they could possible need is out there on the web. That all you have to do is 'google' it. And when our search engine produces no results we change the question instead of our method of reaching the answer. She even says that students keep their heads on their desk because if they don't understand something they'll just bypass their teacher and take their questions straight to Jeeves.

I thought this article was interesting and spot on. Our generation is not used to thinking for themselves but we are very good at googling those who do.
