e-Corpus, Week 8, #2

         So in Beauty Parlor one of the groups went over Facebook and how it tries to digitally represent a body.  One of the options that it has is the relationship status option.  This function has now defiantly one of the steps on courtship.  A relation ship is not final until it is declared on Facebook.  And it is officially over when it is taken off.  Its just interesting how important it has become, or at least amongst the younger generations.  It has even interred into the culture, every so often the term “facebook final”.  Meaning that its something is final once it is posted.  Even beyond just that one function it is a way to catch up on people with out even talking to them.  It is just interesting how much it is affecting how we interact.
