Too Much Technology?

Eventually, someone from Ghana found me and give me a friend request. If this was 1997, the networking would be somewhat different. In my JOUR 101 class, we conducted a media diet tracking and wrote a paper about what media diet consisted of. Of course, my diet contained a good amount of Facebook.

I never knew how connected I was to that movie. I watched it enough times to cite lines from it. I learned in my journalism class it's called transported.
