Document Summary
Gershon, breaking up is hard to do. Main point is that who we are is not fully separated from how we are made by society, and technology changes how we communicate and how we are. Using social media to say something, break up examples from students: Bf invited gf to another girl"s baby shower that he knocked up. The breakup shop company that breaks up for people for you via text, letter or phone call. Sense that it captures smt about social media and being caught between different forms of representation. Ways in which social media confuses the world but also opens up new possibilities of communication. You can do whatever you want but there are social rules . What"s happening now allows us to see more clearly what has always been with communication. Prof would side with the claim that all mediums of communication make you in different ways. Humans inhabit the mediums as well as they inhabit you.
