Boyd blog

The blog about the social media and how people should support the learning of children through them was an interesting article.  I agree with her point that unstructured times of interaction is very valuable because not everything in life is structured.  Boyd uses the example of jobs and how people need their social skills everyday.  I say that the point goes further than just work.  An example of how someone needs social skill, or simply the ability to act in public without structure, would be the graduating from high school.  I myself find college after high school to be full of temptations that i didn't have before.  These temptations are a result of a lack of structure and thus if one has the ability to act "correctly" or "soundly" in the face of temptation then that is a very important ability to have in order to get a job, go to college, etc, etc.
