"Wow, you look so different from your profile."

Finding that special someone has been rather tough. Everyone has such busy schedules it's starting to be hard to have a relationship with. A great deal of people started to flock to these dating sites. Online dating is where individuals connect and contact other individuals over the internet in the hopes to start up either a friend or romantic relationship. There are many websites, which provide members with a profile that includes their personal information. Users use the profiles to match themselves with desired love interests.

It has become common for online dating websites to provide webcam chats between members in order to get to know one another. Online dating could be considered a form of social networking because users create a profile and start to interact with other user, but here the users have a goal in mind: find some one for a relationship.

I find fault in online dating. maybe it is because i believe in the old-fashion dating. I mean how can you real KNOW someone on the internet. In class we talked about putting the wrongs signals out. There is a serious lack of trust in the other members, on whether the information the put forth is real or fake. There are those wackos who pose as singles but really they are looking for someone to have an affair with. My aunt nancy tried one of the dating sites. She finally decided to meet up with him. When she arrived at the resturant for her date, the guy ended up being in a wheelchair. My aunt was taken back because this man left out the detail about being handicapped.

Even though online dating scene has grown, how can you create a real relationship by means of the internet? A real relationship is based on honesty and truth. I just can't believe those commercials, which show couples who met online and made it work.

The Advancements in Cell Phones

The emerged around the nineties. Slowly they gained more popularity, as you saw more people with cell phones. The very first cell phones seemed not as practical. The were way too big. Their was no way you could fit those bad boys in your jeans pocket. When i think about the look of the very first cell phones, i think back to the popluar show Saved By The Bell. The main character, smooth talker Zack Morris would whip out this big phone about a 12 inches tall. I cant imagine some one walking around now a days with that same phone. It is too much of a hassle to lug that phone around.

I was in 5th grade when i got my first cell phone. It was one of those Nokia "bricks". I thought i was the coolest thing. I was able to make calls anywhere, and it had one game, snake, which i played constantly. Then more people began getting cell phones. Then came the fad of making the cell phones more fun. People began designing fun caps and stickers and antenna tassels to have more fun with the phones. Kids would come in to school with so much pizazz on their phones.

The I got into high school, the newest phone to have was flip phones. It was much thinner and when you flipped it up there was the key pad. Those became the coolest things to have and all the different phone services have made many versions to flip phones. The enVy phone was one of the first to have a number key pad on the front then when you flip the phone open their is a alphabet key pad, which made it easier for texting.

Flip phones are still the most popular form factor for cellular phones, however they have been losing popularity to phones with slide-out keyboards, and touch screen phones like the iPhone. These have become the newest advancements to cell phones. The less buttons there are the more cooler.

The ability to connect to the internet has also been a new step for cell phones. Phones such as the Blackberry and iPhone make for a person anywhere in the world to connect to the internet. I am not sure what will be the next thing for cell phones but it will be different.

Facebook updates

Oh it was so good to see all the amazing statuses after the New York Yankees won the World Series. Being from New Jersey and being such a huge yankees fan, and once the game was over, more than half of my facebook friends had changed their status to something related to the game. My "live news feed" was over 300 posts. Something so exciting happens, you can most defiantly count that it will show up on facebook.
