I've been pretty busy  with AP and have not had a chance to update the blog. I feel like I am making really good progress in narrowing down my research essay. My focus is straying away from the economic side (despite the fact that I am still reading and enjoying Freakonomics) and moving towards the sociology, psychology aspect of technology. Rather than looking behind the scenes of social networking, I am looking at the evolution of social networking. Not evolution as in development from 1990 when Mark Zuckerberg designed facebook-I am starting with cavemen...well, not literally but I am going to prove how social networking sites really started evolving 100s of years ago. I am starting to find out about people's constant search for efficiency. Everyone's lifestyle is much faster and jam packed these days; therefore, they are constantly looking for quicker ways to do more things in life. More updates to follow...
