After reading this post I find it very interesting, and very true. I believe that social networking and things like facebook, really do inform the public about events that even I did not know about till looking at a post or blog. We have become so familliar with blogging and posting that we do it not only about personal stuff, but our veiws on issues with society or public events. I remember when Osama Bin Laden was assasinated, the only reason I knew this right away was because i went on facebook and was bombarded with posts about the news. This happens even with the little stuff like whats on tv (Jersey Shore seems to cause a lot of updates for me). I think what this really shows is that with the social media there are some people who are shown more about whats going on with the community and world that only know it because of social networking.
The issue with the teachers I can also see why they do have a problem with social networking, because they are subjected to see the bad results from it, like student bullying or obscene comments about faculty or the school itself. No teacher wants to witness this, or a student on a social network while in a class, and not paying attention to a lesson. With this said I don't think they should be completley against it either. Social Networking, and Media in my eyes, does more good than harm.
It would have been more interesting i feel to see what else the survey asked or even specific awnsers.
