Do you Facebook?



When Frostburg students were asked whether they check Facebook first or some other website when they first log into the computer, their responses were predictably similar.

Frostburg senior Jamie Wiesner, a Mass Communication major from Pasadena, Md responded immediately with, "Facebook. It is newsworthy as well and it has a news feed."

Rachel DeWoody, a junior and Mass Communication major from Rockville, Md agreed with Ms. Wiesner. "Facebook automatically opens up [when I start my computer]. That is how I keep in touch with the people from back home. And it is a little bit addicting."

Senior Fabion Seaton, a Political Science and Communications major from D.C., had a different response. "Email. That is how I communicate with people."

Whether you get on Facebook or choose another website to visit, it is undeniable that mass communication has become a significant part of our society's lives.
