Chat Rooms

After looking into the different sites I have learned a lot about chat rooms. They are not just a place to hook up or catch up, but a place to fit in. Blogs can really send a message that someone cannot say on there own. After visiting different chat rooms I have seen that a whole different side to them.

I use to think chat rooms were just a place to talk sexual to people. I really started to think about my bias and got a different perspective. Many chat rooms have different rooms for different kind of people. There are gay, lesbian, bi, and many other types of rooms. I have now realized that this is a community for them.

I also talk to a lot of my friends on the phone, but there are also a lot of other ways I communicate with them. I recently started my own my space and it has allowed me to connect with a lot of the people I graduated with. Everyday I find someone that I graduated with and you can send them messages, view pictures and post comments about them back and forth. I have also met a lot of cool people from around this area. Moving up here to the cities and not knowing anyone, that is a great opportunity.

The internet is not the only way I communicate with my friends, but I do a lot of text messaging. That is part of the phone communicating, but in a different way. Sometimes you will
