BLOGS

Hello???
Is anyone out there?
Am I talking to myself??

Correct me if I'm wrong but I feel like I'm spending a good portion of my evenings ranting and blabbing to no one other than this white text box and myself. Do a lot of people feel this way? I mean, I actually had created a blog on my own at one time but this time around it's for a class. My motivation is sometimes lacking and the content on some days is less thought provoking than others. What's the point? I have started to find it increasingly difficult to find things to write about - am I trying to hard? Trying to dig deep for something when there are plenty of flowers right on the surface ready to picked? Needless to say my brain generally feels like it's going to implode whenever I log onto this site and I need to figure out a way to keep the meaningful thoughts flowing out of my head and through my fingers.

The Facebook Organism

I've been tossing around ideas for my documentary film project and I think I finally found an interesting direction to follow! I'm going to look at Facebook, one of the most popular social networking websites in this generation, as a living organism. Pretty whacko huh? I know. Here are some of my thoughts:
-We, the individual people/users of Facebook are the individual cells that make up the Facebook community
-Mutations occur within Facebook...Do these happen randomly as in nature or are they induced by some outside force?
-Facebook can evolve...Does this happen by the evolution of the individual cells first, or does the organism evolve causing a change in its component parts?
-What is the relationship between cells? How has the growth of Facebook changed people's perceptions of interpersonal relationships?
-How does communication occur between cells? How has Facebook changed people's ideas about communication?
-What is the purpose of the Facebook organism?
-How can we define lifespan in this scenario, and do the cells have a limited time in the organism too?
-What is the "heart" of facebook...the thing that keeps it "alive"?
I'm going to try and physically map out a scheme of my ideas tonight so I can start getting some footage to use in the short film and start talking to people about these questions. We'll see what happens from there!
