do you think we live in a "myspace generation" & give reasons why or why not?

Yes, I did not do the myspace thing for awhile and that is all everyone was talking about for a long time so I finally broke down and got a account. Almost everyone I know has one if you use it the right way it can be a really cool place to keep in touch with family, friends and old people that you have not seen.

Nope I can assure of that. Even though a lot of people are immature and say stupid things in response to questions like they were on myspace or AIM or something. Just check out Marilyn Vos Savant's featured question, thats where all the older people are hanging out.

the news has provided alot of reasons why it isn't safe for those who provide too much information. Girls lie about their age.... you must be 14 to open up an account, do you actually think that 11 and 12 year olds are not on myspacE? they lie about their age just to get onto myspace and join the trend. and sometimes young girls seek out for attention. There are men out there who are lying about their age and perhaps provide fake pictures claiming that thats who they are. The girl and the older man can start a relationship and the girl thinks she has these feelings like he's the one she needs in her life and will meet him. Other teens provide too much iformation ....where they live, what school they go to, where they work at...and so on... \n\nMyspace comments can cause alot of drama also...i've noticed on my friends myspaces they are like talking about someone who i know, saying  that he's gay and so on... saying rude comments when this person is on their friend list.  Blogs allow kids to vent about whats bothering them... and may say things to hurt other people also.  So....what i am saying is that myspace is a way to gossip.\n\nAnother reason to be against it... it allows us to procastinate... seriously, you'll find kids online when they have homework. So many are obessive over myspace usually just wondering what the latest gossip is.\n\nalso, you're suppose to get approval of your friends before you post their picture on your profile... i don't believe everyone actually does. Alot of photos contain underage drunking and drug use... i think that teens think that's cool and want to get a picture of themselves drinking or smoking, just to look cool. \n\nSurveys ask whats ur full name and usually people will provide their full name.... phone numbers are exchanged.... basically myspace is a place that provides too much information....and the rules are not always followed.\n\ngood luck on ur speech.

i like myspace because it enables me to keep in contact with my old friends from other schools and stuff, and it enables me to keep in contact with my current friends.  \n\nto anyone after me that says "myspace is bad"  and gives no reasons, you are not giving a good opinion.  i think myspace is as bad as you make it.  you are as safe as you let yourself be.  my rules: do not add people you do not know in real life; do not put personal information that can be used to find you on your public profile; and if possible, do not post what school you go to.\n\nas for the people that said it is a fad; you prolly use some other form of the same thing; tagworld, yahoo 360, xanga, livejournal, etc.  \n\nkk now im done :]

Yes. Go to MySpace.com and see for yourself.

Good question. Why don't you go on myspace and e-mail "Tom" (the creator of myspace - everyone's first "friend").\n\nMy opinion is that people should only be allowed to have profiles on myspace if they're 18 or older. That might help take care of the problem.

I'm inclined to agree with ☺MrS. FrAnK☺, though I don't necessarily think it's that the teens have more problems.  (If I only could wish. ^-^; )  It's just that the teens are more likely to be avid online visitors vs the older generations.

i use myspace, but not frequently. a lot of people add me as a friend, which is kinda scary because i only want to talk to my friends on there.

u could always see if they follow the fads and check myspace.com

because it is the way to keep in contact with others.  it isn't just a "fad"  those who said it is a fad, have some other kind of what to contact people on the internet [tagworld, livejournal, xanga, friendster, etc.]  just because it is more wider, it is having more abuse.  as for popular for teens, SO not true, so many adults are getting myspace and a lot of college aged adults are getting it too.  it is NOT only teens.  people who have never had a myspace account, really have no room to talk.  if anything, i would think xanga and livejournal would be more dangerous, because i use my xanga like a diary, telling about stuff i did during the day [including places]  only three people from my school know ihave a xanga, i don't tell many people about it, because it is my personal diary.  well i think i am done ranting here...

i have a myspace and I use it all the time. It is a place for friends, but you just have to be careful about who you accept as a friend and how much information you put about yourself onto it.

Duh, sorry to be mean, but if anybody isn't obsessed with it, then they the crazy one's, not us obsessed one's.  I LOVE MYSPACE!!!

Are you referring to the website "My Space"?  If so, I think it's good, except for the fact that there is no way currently to filter out children being able to access the site.  While it's great that people can log in and have their friends, blogs, etc., there is a lot of content that I wouldn't want my 9 year old seeing!!  I definitely monitor ALL of the internet access that she uses, but I know that there are other children out there, unsupervised that see this stuff.  There are also predators out there who focus on these kids and that's another problem.

Most don't, because of all the posers.\nRead on their offical site, it usually states there if they have a myspace or not.

People are obsessed because MySpace is a way to connect with friends and family.  I know that I have been connected with friends that I just graduated with and I still talk to them even after a year since graduation.  Plus its a good way to meet new people, as long as you know how to act on there.

nah...\n\nPeople have been complaining that the current generation is worse than the past ones literally since Aristotle. Times changes, as do attitudes and fads. Sometimes the old folks (and that would probaby include me at 44) sometimes don't keep up with it and have a lot of nostalgia for what they *think* was there youth.
