One of the most commonly talked about profile setting encountered on facebook is the “relationship status.” I’ve had frequent debates about it with people and every one has a “relationship status” story. Think it would be best to just have 3 options, none, available, or unavailable, then maybe a subcategory or you to be more specific. What do you think?
Our society is adapting this medium at an exponential level, and that can make it seem like a huge 180 in how we connect with each other, but it’s just a shift. Virtual social networks are neither a good thing or bad thing but rather a tool that is subject to the people using it. I feel it to be important to bare this in mind because as we move into this new medium of social interaction we should be sure to remember the qualities that make us human instead of letting them get lost in the translation.
