Hey all, my name is Amanda. I am a student at Ramapo College.

Have you noticed how attached we have become to technology and more so with Facebook and cell phones? When I say we, I mean the majority of us. I am going to be taking a semester to study people and their habits with Facebook and their cell phones. It seems as if we cannot live without our Facebooks and cell phones, even for one day to get through our daily lives.
