how did facebook change your lives?

By Ben Geleris

Facebook has revolutionized the way people connect with each other. Long-lost friends can find old classmates to reconnect; anyone can see the latest school gossip; relationships can be made official; and anything you want the world to see can be posted. But, is this website really helping us?

Parents consistently talk about how “back in the day,” they did not need the internet to stay connected. They were perfectly satisfied with seeing their friends at school and then waiting 12 hours to talk to them again.

Facebook is always open and completely free. When used responsibly, Facebook can be extremely useful and a great way to connect with friends.

Although Facebook can be beneficial, it can also be harmful. If used inappropriately, Facebook can affect personal relationships, make one more susceptible to stalkers and even ruin chances of getting into a choice college. If someone spends all of his time updating his profile page, then he or she will only understand how to connect with another human being over the internet. Additionally, he or she will begin to neglect other important things like homework.

He or she can ruin his or her chances of getting into a good college if a friend decides to post a picture of him or her doing something illegal like, drinking alcohol. Even if he or she removes this tag, some colleges bypass this action by paying companies to go on Facebook and find untagged pictures of accepted applicants.

On another note, if a person is responsible with his Facebook page and ensures that nothing negative is posted on his page, he or she still has no control over what friends may put on their pages. A new Facebook layout allows five of one’s most recently tagged pictures to be seen by anyone who comes across one’s page friend or stranger. Although this setting can be changed, this default option is problematic for the user.

Facebook has damaged our generation. Too many people spend too much time on Facebook and people are able to easily see everything about a person’s life: the good and the bad.

Do you actually like her?

Ask yourself these questions to know for sure:

1. You get excited when she texts you and maybe even a little sad when she is not texting you.

2. If you are old friends, you enjoy talking about past memories you have of each other.

3. You don’t care what a group of people think about you, except when she is around.

4. You find yourself always laughing and having fun when she is around.

5. You hate to see her go but I love to watch her leave.

6. You actually care to match, just so she will comment on how good you look.

7. You tell her all the stories of yourself (including the embarrassing ones) of when you were younger.

8. You constantly question yourself but you try and act like you have all the confidence in the world.

9. You can’t sleep when she is mad at you or you even think she may be mad at you.

10. If you could make her laugh but it would embarrass you, you will choose to make her laugh.

Strokes disappoint?

The Strokes offer an amuse-bouche from their anticipated fourth album to tease anxious fans, which they unfortunately do not succeed in doing. The label released their single “Undercover of Darkness” via the band’s website for free downloading Feb. 9. Overproduced and lacking in the rawness from their debut album Is This It, The Strokes give us something that cookie-cutter bands, such as the Plain White Tees and Nickelback, could whiff up in one sitting. This leaves fans with one thought: Please don’t let this be the “ONE” song from their upcoming album.

True Grit Review

In the vast world of spaghetti westerns and cheesy cop-and-robber plotlines, True Grit stands above all other movies in the genre of the essential western, supplementing the Cohen Brothers’ masterful remake of the original film with superb acting by both old-timers and newcomers alike.

If you’ve seen the original, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by how closely True Grit stays true to the John Wayne classic, keeping the essential story and character dynamics intact and flourishing, while losing some of the more outdated elements of the 1969 film. This livelier, more realistic retelling of the classic story, keeps both die-hard film critics and movie novices engaged throughout the film’s duration.

The story revolves around a young girl, played by 14-year old Hailee Steinfeld, trying to track down the man who killed her father. Along the way, she enlists aid from down-and-out U.S. Marshal “Rooster” Cogburn, originally John Wayne’s character but now played by Jeff Bridges, and a Texas Ranger named LeBoeuf, played by Matt Damon.

A major difference from the original is the very real character flaws that are inherent in each of the characters. In the original, Cogburn is portrayed as more of an archetypal heroic figure, while in the modern retelling, Bridges brings out the complexities within the character, adding extra levels of depth to the twisting plotline.

However dramatic it may be, the movie still has the ability to satisfy fans of the fast-paced, action-packed gunfights that Westerns are notorious for. However, unlike many more unsuccessful movies of the genre, this particular film ties these gunfights seamlessly into the film’s plotline itself, making the realism factor of the film skyrocket. Each shot fired is in fact a calculated move coming as the result of several actions taken previously by the characters, and not just a gimmick to attract audiences.

All in all, it’s no surprise to see that True Grit has grossed over $138 million. The plot and characters stay true to the original version, while adding a modern, realistic touch with a whole new level of depth. It’s definitely worth your time and money to see this film.
