Sexting is widely known among teenagers these days. It is the act of sending sexually explicit messages or images between cell phones. Sexting replaced phone sex since it is thought of being easier. Many teens do not think anything of it. It may be fun at the time, sharing pictures of yourself to your partner. There are singers who made songs off of this topic which also made this topic a big discussion. Sexting may be fun but it does come with consequences. It is easy for the police to find the pictures or getting into someone else’s possession that you might not like. With that problem sexting can be regretted. With the police involved they could count it as a crime such as child pørn. The offending people would probably end up going to court. If the police don’t find it and others do it also can cause another major issue. It can be spread around risking everything. That is why sexting should not always the best idea when talking to someone you love.

Food With A Side of Splice
Friday, June 18th, 2010

You may or may not have heard of the movie Splice but most of us should be aware of the presence of genetically modified foods and the whole idea of genetic engineering. So the movie Splice is about the creation of hybrid animals and eventually experimentation with human DNA in these hybrid animals. Currently science is messing with mostly plant DNA and sometimes slightly alterations of animal DNA, but who knows, maybe one day what happened in Splice will be an area of study with the current advances in technology. But aren’t we going too far? Of course, technology has made our lives much easier and if genetically modified foods are proven to be safe and stable, it could potentially provide a new food source allowing us to feed more people. However, the dangers definitely could exist. Maybe some deadly monster won’t result from the experimentation like in Splice, but we could be creating new animals that may disrupt natural food chains or introducing new genetic makeups that could increase vulnerability to disease. Personally, I have mixed feelings toward the advancements in technology especially in the field of genetics; how about the rest of you?

Not Feeling Facebook
Saturday, May 22nd, 2010
I have a general beef with Facebook mostly because it is an overall waste of time and really has no significant purpose in anything (except getting Betty White to host SNL, which was great). It’s biggest plug is that it helps people stay connected, which is a problem. Every minor acquaintance, friend of a friend, classmate from grade school, and that cutie-patootie that is in your 3rd period class is of no real importance in any aspect of one’s life. These people don’t matter, in a general bigger picture way maybe, but not in everyday occurrences. Facebook has now created a generation that intertwines people to each other for an unnecessary purpose. Pseudo-Facebook friends aren’t real people. They are just strangers that have a window to your life for no reason. Liking a person’s status from your third grade class once every 3 years doesn’t mean anything, especially that you are still friends in any traditional definition of the word. Keeping this false sense of friendship is dumb, and that is basically my whole argument against Facebook and keeping a ridiculously large amount of friends that you would never invite home to meet mom and dad.

Finding Great New Music
Monday, May 17th, 2010
One of the greatest things about being in college is meeting new people, because what comes with new people is new music. In just the first couple of months of my freshmen year, I have gotten hundreds of songs from other people living in my dorm. Music is just one of those universal things that people love to share and spread. Word of mouth is one of the biggest ways music is distributed the amongst teens, even if it’s through a Facebook wall post. Television shows, music blogs, and websites created for the sole purpose of spreading music (such as my new favorite SoundCloud) are how music is shared throughout the masses. Television shows have sections on their websites dedicated to the music featured in an episode; sometimes describing the specific scene it was played. However, I must admit that the best way to research a band, listen to their music, and see their tour dates continues to belong to MySpace. It just sets it up in a nice, clean package on a single page, and for that, MySpace remains king. Internet and music is a great relationship that will only continue to flourish, as does all other information on the World Wide Web.
