In Chapter 3 of The Break-Up 2.0 by liana Gershon she writes
about Remediation and Heartache. She discusses the gap there is between a
couple when they use a different range of technologies. The speech community
that each person is could be different, so his or her social practices clash.
For example, the girl uses e-mail but the boy uses texting for their main forms
of communication. Also, she discussed Facebook
‘stalking’. Going further than this ‘stalking’ she discussed people who would
gain access to a loved ones or ex-lovers e-mail or Facebook accounts. In the
article “Confessions of a Facebook Stalker” it is discussed what happens when
women Facebook stalk their exes. It kind
of makes them seem crazy and not realize how well they are doing in their life
at the moment.
I chose this article because it is a great example of how
women use Facebook to look up on their ex significant others and what they are
doing. As we discussed in class, women
and men use media differently so this gives a great example of how women use
Facebook.
