Answer to Question 1

Social media tools like Facebook have made instantaneous social interaction with a large number of people possible. Thus, we are able to manage our presentation of self in ways that simply were not possible before the dawning of our digital age. When we fret over our Facebook profiles, arranging and rearranging the details, we are manipulating our presentation of self in ways that sociologist Erving Goffman would immediately recognize. Based on others' responses or lack of responses, we alter our pages accordingly. How much people yearn for the approval of others and work social media to bring it about keeps Facebook, Twitter, and similar digital-age technologies in business.
