Fucking Facebook [A cynical observation]

What is it these days about people that gets me so....dissappointed? There are some things. For one, we are all prone to like things with addictive properties. Second dissapointment is the media.

I dont know about you but facebook has a lot of my peers from this corner of the world (Western America) wound up in it. 53,248,312 People use Farmville actively. Theres A lot of wall post arguments and people reluctant to tell their news feed the lyrics of the song stuck in their head waiting for people to like it. People going to these ad-ridden sites to find quotes they "like". Its easier to like things other people made than to make something you like yourself.

I can see a connection now between all that nonsense, and these people in real life. Farmville has addictive properties. And by the way, every time you post your cow on your facebook wall, general mills gets money. More concerningly, Facebook is dumbing down the standards of communication, much like texting is. Hell, nobody can even so much as look each other in the eyes any more. Its insane. I decided im going to use my facebook account only as what it is; Contact with people whom otherwise I would not be able to contact. I am asking you to be open to suggestion to that one concept.

  1. I can only imagine what life will be like in another 10 years when technology will have an even more complete grasp on our society, social and otherwise.

    Good luck with your use of facebook to only contact people you wouldn't otherwise be able to though. That's a worthy goal.
