have magazines finally smartened up?

Magazines get ready for tablets discusses that magazines such as, Esquire and GQ have finally gone digital. These two magazine companies are ready to become a part of the modern day. They will soon have their magazines available via iPhone. And other magazines Wired, and Sports illustrated have made tablet versions of themselves available. Not only are these magazines available in an easily accessible new way but you only pay a very low rate something like $2.99 per month for a month - to - month subscription. You can interact with these magazines by using a search bar, copying your favorite quote, and even copying you favorite quote to Facebook using the application.

I think that this is a great way for magazine companies to stay up to date. In class we have spoke so many times about books become obsolete, due to the Nook, and Kindle, but we have never really discussed magazines. and in all honesty the only time i really go out of my way to purchase a magazine is when I'm about to jump on a flight, otherwise i don't pay a monthly or yearly subscription to Cosmo. It just doesn't happen, i simply don't have time to read magazines when i am home. but if it came on my phone as an app, or even on a tablet at least it's portable, a little less expensive, and much more convenient. Today everything is really about convenience, no one wants to have to go out of their way to read a magazine, or listen to music, or access the Internet. we just want all of these things to be at our finger tips.

Really guys? its not that serious.

So i just read an article, Viruses that leave people red in the Facebook, and i have to be honest. I think its ridiculous.
Just to give you some brief history, we have all seen those links from Facebook like, "cclick hhere tto wwatch a vvideo of yyourself." and we, being the "way too smart for that" college students that we are. .never click on those ridiculous links. But those crazy 30 and 40 year olds, that are suddenly attacking social networking sites, click on them hoping to see a video of themselves bobbing for apples at the company BBQ. which we know obviously, doesn't happen. and now their Facebook is now sending out similar links. And these people seem to be mortified, by the links there Facebook/Twitter is sending out. And now they're upset because they don't know how people "view" them anymore.
Its ridiculous really, because i wouldn't really care for the fact that my friends would be like, "dude why is Kaitlyn shooting out 250 tweets daily about how if we click the link we can get a $500 gift card to Victoria's Secret." I would be more mad that people had hacked into my account. Its really annoying actually.
I don't think people should really be taking Facebook or Twitter that hardcore serious. On days i have a paper due i write "I'm going to Kill myself" via my Facebook status bar, do you think my Facebook friends truly think i will? i doubt it. I think people should seriously lay off the whole Facebook & Twitter thing. its getting crazy, and all of the older people that are on it are making it really uncomfortable. Most because they turn small situations such as this into overwhelming defamation cases. If you can't stand the heat get out of the Kitchen.
