Meghan Rausch's Koobecaf Paper
Koobecaf by Meghan Rausch Koobecaf has become such a huge part of our culture, that it would be ridiculous for anyone to not have one. The Koobecaf is a necessity for American social life. No longer do we need to have a conversation with someone to find out what is going on in their life; we have Koobecaf. We can just take a quick look at their profile which contains so much information. We can see what they are interested in, who they hang out with, who they’re dating, and what they have been doing. All this information can be useful, but it can also be harmful. It can be useful by allowing us to keep up with old friends. It can be harmful by negatively affecting our personal lives and by providing too much information about ourselves. The Koobecaf is such an important part of our lives that it affects our personal relationships. Just the other day, I was talking to a friend of mine who was really upset because the boy she had been dating was also talking to another girl. I asked her how she knew this and she explained that he had blown another girl a kiss via a Koobecaf application. The girl responded with a wink. One day later he changed his relationship status to “It’s complicated.” Almost every little thing that someone does can be viewed by others on their profile. Privacy is extinct in the world of Koobecaf. Many of us do not mind this lack of privacy. Our profiles are our way of showing off to all the people we know. We allow as much information as we want to be on our profile. Many of us however are not very modest with this. We want everyone to know who we have been hanging out with and what we do on the weekends. Most importantly we want everyone to know who we are friends with and who we’re dating. These days, if anyone starts dating, it is not uncommon for them to be asked, “Is it Koobecaf official?” Unless a relationship is on Koobecaf for everyone to see, it must not be a real relationship. Nothing is official unless it is on Koobecaf. Are people even really considered to be friends unless they are friends on Koobecaf? When you meet someone do you think, “Should I add them on Koobecaf?” I’m sure that question has run through everyone’s mind at least once. Many times I have had a conversation with someone where they have asked me, “Are we friends on Koobecaf yet?” It has almost gotten to the point where you don’t really know someone until you are friends on Koobecaf. You can’t really be considered friends, unless everyone can see online that you do know each other. It has to be “Koobecaf official” or it is not true. We may not realize how much Koobecaf affects our daily lives and relationships. It is such a common thing to us that we hardly think about it at all. However, we should realize how it affects us and what we view as the truth.
