One networking tool I just cannot get over is facebook. Not only can you stalk your friends and even random strangers, but you can literally let me know almost everything about you. A personal example I have of this comes from two years ago when I kept changing my relationship status. In a day it went from "in a relationship" to "it's complicated" to "single." I cannot even begin to explain the number of texts and phone calls I got just because of this. The situation really reminded me how much people are online and checking their friends status, photos, ect. Sometimes I feel that people live more online than they do in the real life. This moves into the idea that people don't communicate face-to-face anymore. Things can so easily be done over an emial, text, phone call, and now your online profile. Although this has benefits, to me. nothing beats a heart-to-heart conversation.
