When asked what new communication technologies I use to communicate with family and friends, two words come to mind. Email and Myspace.com. Email is of course the classic and most common way of communicating over the internet, whilst myspace (as their logo would agree) is “A place for friends”
Since I live away from my family, (and have since I was 16) email has always seemed the most effective and obvious option. Its quick, easy and a great way to share photos and small video files. With the added benefits of msn and web-camming it makes it the perfect tool for keeping in touch with Mum, Dad and my two little brothers.
Myspace is the more sociable of the two for remaining in touch with old friends, meeting new ones and also just a cheap way of communication for my group of friends of today. Its easy to use format makes it great to communicate, whether it be in private or publicly. It also gives users the opportunity to exchange photos, listen to music and even watch videos.
I think the reason myspace.com is the more preferred option of the two, for teenage socializing is because of the more open format and creating a sharing cyber community. Whilst email still remains private, this is a more appropriate way for family to communicate. Unless of course your Mum gets myspace…….NOT COOL
