Social Networking came into full force with MySpace and its predecessors but took off even more with Facebook. Once an exclusive club for Ivy League schools but opened its doors to colleges and universities across the nation. Now it is open up to the entire world, this is exciting as the creation of the internet. You can talk to anybody in the world and be instantly updated on what they are doing. According to WIKIPEDIA, there are tons of social netowrking websites to choose from and involve many activities. I bring this up because I see a connection with social networking and the relations with people from the Naked Sun. No social networks are mentioned or conceived in the book but I want to bring up the fact that Solarians are so dependent on technology that they are afraid of human interaction. With social networks we can learn everything about a person and never make contact with them. This affects the development of relations, how can we be so connected but be isolated from one another. By viewing one another with the technology in the book it is similar how we post and message each on social media. These are but a few points I want to bring up in my paper.
