When social networks such as MySpace, Facebook and Twitter first arrived, people were anxious to get to their computers and smartphones to check their pages. Since these sites can be addictive, are they starting to get boring, and will they become obsolete?

Some believe that they aren’t going anywhere for a while because they are great sources of communication. These sites have helped to connect long lost friends and family members.

“I don’t really think they are going downhill, I think that they are evolving,” says communications studies major Josh Walker. “Social networking is one of the most revolutionary concepts man has come up with. Anything that eases communication will most likely never become extinct, it will simply transform and improve itself,” says Walker.

Even though some people can’t go a day without these sites, others only visit them for special occasions.

Business major, Nathan Thompson says that he isn’t a Twitter fan, but he visits Facebook frequently.

“You could consider me an occasional user.” Thompson says that Facebook is about sharing moments and making connections on the spot with simplicity.

People have access to social media on their phones and it keeps them wired to the site. Even though some may be satisfied with the works of Facebook, some say that there is a possibility for it to be replaced.
