Influence of Social Networking sites on the Internet
Future social dimensions to cyberspace: You Tube, Facebook, Myspace and
texting. Newfound communities or a
diversion from healthy face-to-face relationships.Trudi-Ann Read

According to a survey done in my classes
• All year 11 and 12 are on both Facebook and Myspace – approx 60/60 (Who can have the most friends)
• Texting is an important way of communicating – To set up dates ?????? One student had even asked a girl out on a date via text.
• Junior students are still more inclined to adopt Myspace rather than Facebook – Facebook is for older people according to them.
• Bebo – Another tool or social network for lower secondary
• Club penguin – For Upper Primary • MSN – The place to hook up according to my senior –
But hook up with what exactly
