If I could go back in time I would go back to the shot on Ehlo. On May 7, 1989 Michael Jordan took a shot on Craig Ehlo to beat the Cavaliers and go to the playoffs. I would go back because I love basketball and I would like to seeMichael Jordan play. I would sit court side and I would watch the game. I would also like to go to the locker room. I would not bring anything with me anti would change the past either.

Facebook Users bored with Facebook

As many as 2⁄3 of adults in America use Facebook on a daily basis, undoubtedly making it the most popular social networking site in the country. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll never get bored of it. In fact, most of them did. Recent surveys show that nearly 61% of Facebook users have voluntarily taken breaks from the social networking site. Actually nearly 20% admitted to deleting their accounts entirely. 4% stated it was for privacy reasons, the rest just stated it was a general waste of time.
Now the site once bustling with activity, struggles to profit from its users. The company claims they will add in new features to help users do a new wide variety of things with their new graph search feature. Facebook may not be in such a great spot, but that means less distractions for me.
