Facebook

More often than not people find themselves using Facebook as a means to communicate with friends, both new and old. Regardless, sometimes friends for the past manage to sneak their way onto your newsfeed and you find yourself wondering what they have been up to. The most interesting part about Facebook essentially enables you to compare/contrast how these individuals have changed. Therefore, I decided to view random profiles of friends from high school that I have not talked to for the past four or so years. I was able to use Facebook pretty much find out anything under the sun about how their lives have unfolded throughout college. In fact, a simple glance at a profile picture can speak volumes about a who a person is. I was inspired to compare what I remembered from high school about these individuals and take note of any major changes. For example, a friend had all these posts about local concerts and I found out that he had pursued his passion from music (of course, I had not known about this until Facebook basically told me). Another girl had an abstract picture as her profile default which helped to to unvail that she was going to school for photography. It's certainly strange to think that this social media tool can revel so much about a person. I'm sure if you went on a current friends profile page you'd find out at least five new things that you never know by simply looking through old albums, reading various posts and truly looking at hobbies and interests.
