Hipsters and Facebook

Hello class,

This article game out in Adbusters about a year ago and I thought it was really interesting and relevant as the "hipster" trend increases in popularity both around campus and the nation. Give it a read and see what you think, are hipsters really that bad?!

Also, an interesting piece is this take on Facebook-- is it blocking us from reality?! This piece convinced me to quit Facebook for a few weeks last year but I couldn't last without it. Now I appreciate Facebook much more as a social tool rather than loathing it for constantly distracting me.

Best,
Todd
