1/10-Social Networking

I'm not really sure how much it has impacted my life, but I'm very sure it has, in a big way.

For one, I'd probably spend most of the time I used to go on to facebook, to do something, I dunno, more productive, and positive then knowing my friend set her status to "OMG! Sleepover at Betrice's house! LOLOLOLOL" ...Or something like that. I don't actually use much 'chat speak' so I don't know how it actually would be spelled on the computer. The point is, I probably would be doing something a little more important. Less glued to the computer. Less interested in my friends life, and more in my own.

You have to admit that social networking has really helped in some ways, while they're not really super important, they still help. Like getting in touch with family. I have family in Viginia, North Carolina, Washington, Texas, New Jersey and more. Not that Twitter and Facebook is around, it's easier to talk to them, rather then calling every single one of them almost every day. If it werent for Facebook, I'd never know when my cousin Marlayna gave birth to her first child lat alone that she was pregnate in the first place! The only time I saw her is when she visited up here when it was our grandmothers birthday, and she was around seven to eight months pregnate then. Thank god I knew. It've probably ended up like:

Marlayna: Hey Morgan! Long time no see!
Morgan: Hiya! Woah, you've put on some pounds!

TERRIBLE.
JUST TERRIBLE.

It also helps with planning things. For example, every year around Christmas, my 'sister' Maria (She's dating my eldest brother) hosts a Cookie party, where every one who's invited has to make a dozen cookies for each persone who's showing up. For instance, it there are 12 women going to show up total, you make either 11 or 12 dozen, depending if you wanted a batch for yourself. Facebook helps her invite everyone, tell everyone how many batches to make, and what kind of cookies are being baked. Because no one wants two batches of the same cookie, we all want to make different ones. And their always delicious.

Although we COULD live without it, it dose make things easier.
