there is no reason to question the fact that our generation has become very intimate with our media.  not only do we consider our cell phones as lifelines, but we use them as well as other media technologies as the primary outlet for communication.  for example, i just wrote a “happy birthday” post on my friend’s facebook wall.  i will not be seeing her or speaking to her today because she lives in another town, but this simple post on her facebook wall is enough in our current society even on such a special occasion.  another example is how many personal conversations we have nowadays using our media technologies.   Whether it’s on the phone: either speaking or just text messaging, or even on social networking sites such as facebook, our lives happen here- through our media.  how can anyone argue against that intimacy?
