summarize you tube video: Dana Boyd

Dana Boyd is a women who is doing a presentation on the effect that myspace, facebook, and other social networking sites have on the people of the world in this time. Dana talks about the differnt kinds of people that have the internet or do not and how much access that these people have. she talks about all of the good things about haveing access to the internt and the bad things about it. she says that people in the world today are talking more and more on the social networking sites and if you dont have one or are not able to get on at the time then you are "out of the loop" as people say. She talks about how much time the people are spending on the social networking sites and how people are being connected by it all around the world and how it also brings drama to people. The good things that Dana talks about the social networking sites is that they let you keep in contact with people that you normally can not talk to in your life because of distance issues or whatever the issue is. it helps you keep in touch with family and close friends too. The down side to being on the social networking sites for an abundant abount of time is it will take away form the school or other work that you have to get done and can dramatically bring your school grades down. it can take face time away from the people that you do actually get to see and make those relationships weaker. an iteresting fact that i heard about bein gon the social networking sites is that studys show that being on the social networking sites can actually improve you intelegence because you are interacting with people and in doing so your social skills go up and your overall intellegence increses because of the good contact you are haveing with people.
