PR News Post #9

On the PR News Blog there was an article about anti-social media.  I thought it was very interesting.  The writer talked about when she went to a church event and the church leader asked everyone to take two minutes to get to know everyone and just introduce themselves.  She noticed, like many, that no one really did this.  Everyone sat staring at their watches waiting for the time to be up.  I know exactly what she is talking about.  This stuff happens all the time and it is funny because people are really not as social as we think!  I like when she called it "forced socialization."  Then she went on to explain she thinks people are become more friendly and social online rather than in real life.  Now if you ask me that is going to become a serious problem really fast!
