b) someone tells you that John (that fancies Suzie) has put something about you online, but you can't read it unless you sign up, but don't want anyone to know that you want to read it. Do you feel that little Joe would feel pressure to be online ?
c) Little Joe signs up and realises that everyones page is adorned with kisses and comments and links to friends in response to what they have displayed in their window. Do you feel that little Joe would feel pressure to put information online ? If so , what kind ? What characteristics do you think it would have ?

and so it goes...

a) All your clasmates are in a little group, chatting about the party last night with a bunch of in-jokes, why weren't you invited?
b) Someone tells you that john has said something about you, but you can't find out what unless you do a dare, you don't want to do this dare, and don't want anyone to know you're remotely bothered anyway.
c) The cool kids get all the love, maybe I should dress like the cool kids.
I simply see no difference.
