About Me
- Mike Current
- I am a systems engineer at Lockheed Martin in a rotational program called the Engineering Leadership Development Program (ELDP). I am currently transitioning to a new position in the company working as a software engineer. I am a graduate of The College of New Jersey (TCNJ) in 2005 with a BS in Electrical Engineering. While at TCNJ I studied multiple topics and did a senior project on the Solar Electric Boat project. I worked on the power systems helped design the system that converted the solar power into usable system energy for the drive system and the electronics. This system tracked the peak power of the solar panels and changed various system components to ensure the maximum power was transfered from the panels to the system components. Currently I am attending Penn State Great Valley Campus getting my graduate degree in Information Science.

Thanks for sharing the article. Not sure if it is overrated (compared to MySpace) since a lot of people really do love it. Some of my friends started using facebook recently (to keep in touch with old friends & flames) & seem to enjoy it so much.
Good question. If you would have asked me this before i signed up..i would have probably said yes. Now that i'm signed up...i'm not going to say no but i'm also not going to say yes right away. I have to admit that it is pretty cool and has some fun features and allows you to get in touch with old friends (as i did) but its not worth spending crazy hours on it like some people do. Its a nice to have to keep in touch with friends but ultimately i think it depends on how much the user abuses the technology. You can always keep in touch the old way...calling someone up. :)
Good points. However it does have a down side... In college it was a major source of distraction when people needed to do homework. Not to mention that some people really abused it and became total stalkers.
