<p>I think actually you can ask your boss for a raise on Facebook these days. You know before people employ you, they can and actually do a Google search on your name? Often times a Facebook page is the first thing they rely on to get some insider info on you. Not to mention cell phones and easy communication are a MUST in today’s technological world. Nobody walks down Wall-Street without one, either messaging or checking the web.</p>
<p>Slightly aside but are any of you familiar with the recent RealID conflict? I was personally in favor of it. I think it’s a matter of time before the world goes virtual anyways.</p>
<p>Blizzard Entertainment recently tried to implement a system where real names would be used to post on their internet forums, a step towards virtual anonymity reduction but it did not have a good public reception and was dropped because people were afraid their bosses would find out they played video games. You’d be surprised how well alive the internet actually is, even in the workplace.</p>
<p>The true meaning could be that, the average college roommate is not the best person to network with anymore. Thus social interaction is unnecessary.</p>
<p>Personally I’ve been constantly paired up with engineers… I’m a bio major. There’s almost no connection; they literally speak a different language and live with different schedules… Not at the undergraduate level at least. Graduate school is a better place where one would see interdisciplinary things.</p>
