Anna here, reporting in: So for my research this summer I have to interview random people from across the country about their experience with social networking sites. Last week I had the pleasure of chatting with 19 year old who referred to this time period as "the 30th century". Later when asked what he wanted people to think when they viewed his MySpace profile, he responded, "that I like to thrash, and skate, and hang out with chicks, and get drunk". Brilliantly stated, really. My all-time favorite quote however was a 17 year old who stated, “I downloaded the SuperPoke application one day because I thought it was funny, and then I spanked this girl who didn’t want to be spanked. At first I think it was a little upsetting to her but I think she got over it pretty fast. And then she proceeded to pinch me after the spank.” I also talked to a girl who described her meticulous selection of "a sexy profile pic so that people would notice and tell me that I'm hot".
There are some sad, scary people out there. But at least I'm entertained.
