ABSTRACT
The development of email and other forms of CMC has completely changed the way in which we engage socially with others. Facebook, Twitter, and other social media platforms make it easy for us to tell friends and the whole world what we are up to, when, and with whom, around the clock. Social living sites like Foursquare allow users to check in to a location so that everyone can know where to fi nd them at any time of day. The ability to post videos and photos allows us to share virtually every facet of our lives with whoever is interested.
