Everyday Mass Communication

Facebook has become an extension of our bodies and minds. Whenever we feel an emotion, we post it. Whenever we're doing something (or nothing), we post it. Facebook has been integrated into our everyday functions, lives put on display like show pieces. Twitter has taken this one step further. Tweeting is an obsession. Following a friend or celebrity has taken our obsession with ourselves and made it an obsession with others as well. The trends and phrases that come out of Facebook and Twitter, infect our lives at home, with our friends and parents, loved ones and coworkers. If a celebrity tweets an idea or a photo of a new look, within hours, that look has been copied and molded into millions of lives. These internet epidemic sites have changed the way Mass Communication operates. Now we can communicate to the entire world our ideas, feelings, beliefs, and actions in mere moments. At any given time there are millions of people invading each others lives. With creations like Blogger, Facebook, and Twitter, communication never stops. It can't.
