Facebook is the gun that enables us to fire virtual bullets at all of the people that we despise, but every so often we take a shell in return. This shell can put a ripple in our psychological state which has us asking ourselves, I am I as happy as my friends ? “ The real danger with Facebook is not that it allows us to isolate ourselves, but that by mixing our appetite for isolation with our vanity, it threatens to alter the very nature of solitude” (Marche) . People should have their moments of solitude in this crazy stressful life; Sadly facebook acts as a weapon that destroy our much needed seclusion.

These new tools have reinvented social activism and have played a major rule in recent events. In the past people who are protesting for their social rights have always communicated through word of mouth since cellphones or social networking sites didn’t exist back then. This was very insufficient because of the lack of turn
In a sense, Pitts is showing concern for the future generations, and how they would live their lives. At the rate that technology and social media is affecting us now, how would people be able to physically communicate? Will society be undermined to a status of physical solitude, where one tweets the “exciting” life they are having to others that he or she cannot even recognize the faces of?
