back in the day life was rough. if i needed to call one of my friends, i'd have to travel downstairs to a piece of paper that was taped to the side of the refrigerator by the telephone. let me tell ya, that was quite a bit of work...i mean kids nowadays just don't realize how lucky they have it...getting cellphones in middle and high school. without much effort you can store and save hundreds of contacts, then no matter how far you are away from that community fridge, your contacts are only a couple clicks away. that's the making of a pretty convenient network if you ask me. i actually hate cellphones...of course they are convenient, but perhaps can this super convenience be interpreted as a form of social imprisonment? or @ least a test of loyalties. i know i'm putting myself out in dangerous territory right now, but how often do you ignore calls from some people, then a minute later answer one from someone you don't mind talking to? (i hope my mother won't read this). i'm just glad i don't have to walk 10 miles in the snow uphill both ways to school every morning. moral of the story: JOIN THE NETWORK!

I know this wasn't really a good example of networks/networking...but i had to go to the sprint store today (must be on my mind)
but i think this site has serious potential...i don't know about the rest of you, but i sure do enjoy talking to myself. makes for a good network. i realize this isn't exactly a forum, but posts that are mostly mindless are a lot of fun. there even more fun with more participants...but you know, what else do i have better to do @ 3 in the morning other than reading those articles for the class called New Media of something....this is quite obviously a profuctive use of time.

seriously, think about how many different networks we are all involved in...quite fascinating..we should share. networking is good...who knows it might get you a well paying job in the future...if you're into that sort of thing.
