Cyber-Prank [11.9.08]

I am always fascinated by the role that technology plays in the lives of children today. For as long as I can remember, I had access to a computer or a cell phone. I was always connected through e-mail or online networks such as Facebook. However, all of that technological convenience comes with a price, especially when one forgets to LOG OUT. Take, for example, the classic prank of changing someone's Facebook status. My friends and I were studying when we realized that one of our friends forgot to log herself out of Facebook. Immediately, we got to work. At 3:22 PM, her status said that she was in the bathroom. At 3:24 PM, her status said that she was in the bathroom, pooping. At 3:25 PM, her status said that she was in the bathroom, pooping...and it burns. Our friend returned to find countless comments from friends; some asked her if she had seen her doctor lately, while others simply wanted to know her daily diet out of curiosity. To say the least, our friend was embarrassed. At 3:42 PM, her status said that she was tired of her friends and their silly pranks. That makes one of us.
