Social Networking
1 It is hardly news that people are using the Internet for communicating with others more and
more. The growth of Internet use comes in various forms, from email to IMs to social
networking sites, like Facebook, MySpace, or Bebo. Some fear that people will no longer
have the need to talk to one another face-to-face. Some recent studies suggest that people
communicate, or stay in touch, even more than they used to. Whichever side you fall on, what
is clear and not debatable, is that human communication has changed in the 21st century. But
results of recent scientific studies may have us reconsider just how much our new
communication forms have changed our world.
2 In June 2008 a British psychiatrist, Himanshu Tyagi, warned that communicating on social
networking sites could have a negative effect on the generation of people born after 1990.
This is a group of people who have never known a world without the Internet. He warns that
they use the Internet to communicate with others so much they may have trouble forming real
relationships with people. It is of concern that people can start and end relationships over the
Internet. As he described the Internet, “It’s a world where everything moves fast and changes
all the time, where relationships are quickly disposed of at the click of a mouse.”
3 Despite all of these warnings, studies can be found that demonstrate the positive aspects of
social networking sites. The results of one study show that using social networking sites has
boosted the self-esteem of young adults. Another suggests that college students using these
sites feel more “connected” with people when they use them. In addition to scientific studies,
there are many who feel that the benefits of social networking sites far outweigh the possible
negative aspects. Many people, especially those who spend a lot of time at home, for various
reasons, find the Internet a lifeline. They are able to communicate with many people using
these sites.
4 Perhaps the key to this new communication style is moderation and common sense. If
someone spends all of his time on the Internet, and never actually sees friends face-to-face,
that seems like an unhealthy way to live. But if someone spends time on the Internet, some of
which is spent arranging meetings for “real” time together, then it seems almost
complementary. Moderation is the key to keeping communication alive and well in the 21st
century.

Making Cities Green
1 In attempts to make cities more energy efficient, local governments have been putting up
solar panels on rooftops and adding wind turbines to the waterfront—both to generate energy
from “free” sources. These are not new ideas, but they’re becoming more and more common,
and even expected, in any plans to make cities greener, or less dependent on energy from coal
or oil.
The Urban Farmer
2 But there are some new ideas that may seem a bit strange. How about gathering your
homegrown vegetables from your roof? Instead of growing fruits and vegetables in rolling
fields, miles away from cities, grow them in the city—on rooftops, in backyards, on vacant
lots. A school in New York City has constructed a small farm on part of its playground, and
the produce is sold during the summer at local farm stands. Across the world, small urban
farms are “sprouting” up to help make the cities green and to feed urban dwellers.
3 There’s even talk of bringing farming inside. One company is testing indoor farming. The
test farm consists of rows of vertical panels filled with potted plants. The whole farm is oneeighth of an acre and is expected to grow 15 times more lettuce than a traditional farm, but
use only 5 percent of the amount of water. There are many experiments like this one going on
in cities.
Build It Up
4 Taking this idea a few steps further, Dickson Despommier, a professor of environmental
sciences and microbiology, believes that one day skyscrapers will be the farms of the future,
providing enough food for entire cities. As he describes the advantages of indoor farming in a
recent newspaper article, “You can control nothing outdoors, and you can control everything
indoors.” Crops grown in a controlled environment will not be threatened by floods, droughts,
or storms. In addition, the costs will be greatly lowered because no herbicides or pesticides
would be used, and the food would not need to be transported great distances.

_______1. Few cities expect to use solar or wind power to save energy.
