Term Paper Topic - Face to Facebook

I would like explore the development of the internet's social networking sites, as well as cell phones, to the point of where they are today, and how they have changed how we socially interact. I want to explore how this new wave of communication and self-representation effects the psyche, and see how/if it is really hindering our face-to-face social skills/interactions. One of the most important issues I want to cover is the diminishing of privacy. If you aren't broadcasting to the whole world what you're up to via "status update", people can always call/text you're cell phone to see where you are/what you're doing... and if they still can't find you, don't worry, you're phone is equipped with GPS.
