__**Entry #1- Facebook**__ Everyday when i wake up, i check my Facebook. When i arrive home, I check my Facebook. It almost become a new routine for me to check my social updates and my friends lives that i feel it is my duty to keep a daily tab on what's going on around me. Status updates, relationship status, there is almost nothing that wouldn't be mentioned or leaked onto Facebook. It's a new age of stalking, some people would say. With a simple click of a button, we can find out a person's birthday, pictures and age, it's almost scary.

What are we sharing on these websites? Sometimes we don't know how much we're sharing and what's too much. We don't need to know what you did last night, or had for breakfast, but we still post the most random stuff online.

We can't help ourselves, humans developed a sixth sense to want to know what other people think. Constantly being on Facebook doesn't change that fact. It's a new form of entertainment, less people are going out with their friends, going to movies or playing sports, but rather they are staying at home, posting useless updates about how boring their life is and how they want more attention. Nowadays, everyone's craving that sort of attention, and we can't help it. We're all moving into the fast-paced world of social networking.

**__Kim Kardashian's Wedding__ **


 * [[image:media-studies-2011/Kim-Kardashian-Wedding-Dress-Replica-For-Sale.jpg width="501" height="360" align="right"]] If someone described a fairy tale wedding, they would probably picture Kim Kardashian's wedding. This year, the wedding was one of the most talked about events. With 450 guests, and another 5 million people watching, this event was a major highlight in Hollywood. This was also a very expensive wedding with a total spending of $20 million, $2 million on the ring alone. **


 * This caught my attention because Kim Kardashian is a major influence in Hollywood, being a reality TV star, businesswoman and model. **
