ROUGH DRAFT

Social media continues to consume our everyday life. In this story we are going to look at Facebook, a networking website I feel to be the most prominent in our current generation. With the majority connected to this one site, is it beneficial to constantly be connected to Facebook, or is it a creating a negitive downfall?


In this study in perticular, subjects who are interviewed are those we are currently on Facebook, active or not, however, they will be asked to be disconnected for a span for an entire week. After the week is over I will ask a series of questions in order to deteremine if Facebook can be used as useful tool to network & market with one another, and connect to others they may have not done so without it, or do they find it as a constant nuisance as it's in the back in their head to continously check what is on their newsfeed? Do subjects come to a peace of once they've disconnected as they can focus on priority subjects rather than frivalous news.
