Technology and Our lifes

You know, we judge roommates by their facebook covers. Before they meet each other, many incoming freshmen can know about their future roommates. They use SNS such as Facebook, Twitter and Kakaotalk and research on their future roommates. In the past, people should approach a live person to get to know an utter stranger. We have to come face to face with and have a talk with him or her.

With Internet technology advances, however, people don't need to meet with stranger personally. We only need to sit in front of our computer and just research on that person by seeing his or her profile that includes photos, quotes, and the newest video link. It takes only a few minutes to do so.
 
Of course, it is helpful to know who that person is in advance. The problem is that we may have unknowingly prejudice by researching on him or her. So we should not depend so much on the SNS and judge roommates by their facebook covers. That's not all.
