1. What do i still need to get?
I need to get a book, journal, possibly a picture.
Journal - 460 Inventing Arguments
I found a journal but it turned out to be an article and i need to revise that.
I have been looking sporadically for books and i am in the process of using one.
2. Have i assessed my resources correctly?
For the majority i feel i have done so, but the majority isnt the whole. I need to revise some authoritative sources and diffuse some of the sources that are not. Some of my authoritative sources i think may not be and i will use the ideas and cite them rather than using them as a credible source.

Resources Reflections
1. How did you find your resources?
I went to the library to find certain credible sources. Especially when i needed to find a journal entry and obviously a book. I asked a librarian to help me find a book, I told her my thesis and what i was trying to say and she recommended a book for me. I also used google just to find a general ideas and topics.
2. How has research altered my original idea?
By looking through various materials searching for support of my thesis, I encountered many other opposing arguments as well as new ideas. It "opened my horizon" to new ideas and arguments. I am thinking about changing my thesis sentence to fit my essay more appropriately.

Journal entry response
the online article i found was very informative.
In summarization, it talked about a college student from Delaware who gave up his cell phone and online craze. He found it was less stressful and more relaxing.
This was a vital article to find because it claimed a new perspective on the subject. Not everyone enjoys being involved all the time. According to some people, it is less "hectic" because one does not have a constant bird chirping about the latest trend. Yea one may miss family photos but overall it is not that big of a deal. this is an important argument for me to search more into because i think it can be another strong argument i can use. the site was credbile and gave an opinion but was clearly supported and argued

Magazine
I searched various magazine articles to see how magazines dives into peoples lives. Many celebrities have their lives constantly under radar. the difference i found was that magazines online sometimes have discussion boards on the latest fad and what is happening. A magazine bought from the store keeps one uptodate but not as uptodate as the internet version. this point supports the claim that technology allows college students to communicate and dive into peoples lives.

newspaper article
San Jose Mercury news
In summary of the article it stated that facebook would be creating changes but allowing the user more control over who sees what.
The article was helpful to me because, privacy is a big issue when pertaining to facebook. It seems now that facebook is trying to listen to the peoples needs and that they are adapting to their surroundings. The news reports' that facebook is trying out this new system and having the public vote on it to see wether they like it or not. Technology does allow for all this communication to flourish but facebook provides too much information readily available therefore the company is trying different measures to constrict and loosen the grip of privacy policies.

Youtube Source
This video shows the controversies of facebook and how "private" it really is. In the online clip it shows how one can use privacy settings, but how private are those setting considering the fact that facebook "owns" anything one publishes. Even youtube is another option of peeping into other peoples lives. The Cbs reporter provided his opinion on how to cover up your naked profile for others to see, but by having him online again shows the versatility and easyness of searching for data and people.

Interview with Martha
N: Do you own a social network?
M: yes, facebook and myspace
N: Do you feel it invades peoples privacy?
M: depends if the person wants everyone to know their business, they could easily post something that would allow everyone to do so.
N: LIke what give me an example?
M: Say someone changes their relationship status, on Facebook it allows everyone to see this and they comment asking you questions about it.
N: Do you think that [facebook] gives your friends too much insight into your own life?
M: Not really, after all it is only your friends who would be seeing things about you, when some people add just about everyone, then the world can see; that could become an invasion of privacy.
N:Do you think that maturity is a necessity when dealing with social networks in general?
M: yes, because i wouldn't want to be friends or follow with someone who posts naked pics of themself or stupid comments.
N: Would you say that technology allows you a greater ability to see other peoples lives, such as your friends?
M: yes, facebook allows me to see what all my friends are up to
My interview with Martha gave me great insight into another persons perspective on social networking. She stands where i stand on the belief that technology does allow college students to be interactive with other students and have access to their current situation.
