There are many mis-conceptions and
conceptions that come with social media. What started off as a thing for teens
grew to be an eco structure for the college like and adults to now you can
follow on twitter your favorite brand of cereal to your favorite musician. Using these sites varies person to person
depending on the purpose of the usage. With this option of personal or business
it comes with certain unspoken guidelines. For instance if you have a business
Facebook ‘Like’ page you don’t want to
post personal things that are not supportive of the page itself. People assess one
another by their friend count, type of post they make, pictures they use, groups
they belong to, to even who they follow on twitter. It’s all circular theory at
best.
As far as rituals is concerned I highly
doubt or at least I am hoping there isn’t any Facebook or Twitter rituals like
on your child’s 12th birthday they activate the usage. However I
will say there is routine, like email some people check Facebook first thing in
morning or before they go to bed at night. We all develop our own routine on
usage but I don’t think anyone has a ritual that would be pretty scary
considering the source. Social networking is a big part of the world now almost
everyone has some form or type of iteration to be connected with others
virtually. Some may call it bandwagon theory or even evolution; but for the
most part people want to use the tools.
I take away from this how rapid times and thing change and that nothing is
guaranteed forever. I look forward to seeing what else we incorporate in life.
