The rise of stalkers

In an age where the internet offers almost anything there is to offer, a new step was taken to create a system where anyone in the world can follow your every ‘tweet’. The invention of Twitter, a system used to keep others instantly informed on whatever the user wants them to know on a secured network, has spread rapidly thoughout the public. Famous actors, sports stars, public figures have all taken flight on spilling their guts and every action for others to see. Sports stars such as the famous Shaq, have even admitted to ‘tweeting’ during halftime of his Suns basketball game last year. From a personal perspective I see Twitter as a stalkers dream come true. Not only can anyone sign up for Twitter and follow anyone they want, they can be kept up to date via cell phones, computers, or even ipods. Your ‘tweets’ should be kept to yourself, for not everyone cares about what you ate for breakfast this morning. What do you think?

Really? The Who?

Another year. Another horrible halftime performance. As the sun sets on the NFL football season with a win from the New Orleans Saints, the NFL has continued to make the decision to hire old classic rock bands to perform during halftime. Only a few years ago Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake took the stage and performed a song with a very “interesting” ending. From the moment that Janet Jackson’s bosom was flashed for the entire world to see, the NFL has become in my eyes, excessively conservative in their halftime show performance selections. The past four years has featured Bruce Springsteen, Paul McCartney, Prince, The Rolling Stones, Tom Petty, and now the Who. All of these showcase to a much older audience, and I believe that the NFL is playing it too safe with these shows. I believe that pushing limits with more fun and interesting newer bands would be a much better show. How do you feel about this?

Oh so thats what celebrity you look like?

On a week where users of Facebook find it necessary to post pictures of the celebrity they think they most look alike, any normal user begins to get irritated. When a brown haired, brown eyed, very tan girl says they look like Kate Hudson, I think a very ironic line has been crossed. Not only have users been posting pictures, different surveys and unlimited conversation involving their celebrity look a-likes have cluttered the home pages of every user signing on to Facebook. To found out which celebrity you look like is not what anyone who signs on to Facebook neither cares about nor wants to know. Please I ask, to find a way to do something else on Facebook, because as of now, I know I’m tired of it. What do you think?
