Hello again everyone,
First let me thank you for your comments, I will try to take each request under consideration but I promise nothing!
Today I wanna discuss something called Facebook, assuming my faithful readers are all fans of the phenomena, I will naturally take the opposite side. Facebook, despite his numerous advantages such as being able to publish the amount of times one visited in the toilet, or to find people who 20 years ago decided to stop being your friends and insisting on renewing the so-called “friendship” – mainly due to boredom or hoping to cross the 500 friends golden line – is very annoying, disturbing, privacy killer and in my words, “1984 – the people’s version”
My mother in law, a lovely woman whose computer skills can be summed up in pressing the “start video call” button on Skype, asked me to be her friend on Facebook… Needless to say I press “confirm” without thinking twice (there are things you mess around with), but common – my mother in law?!
Of course, you don’t have to expose yourself entirely in the net but isn’t it the entire purpose? to see and to be seen? to comment on every stupid thing that someone else just wrote just to remind everyone that you are there? Yes, I know that sometimes people write important things in there (and in this case let me congratulate Maria one more time – Magistra!) but the important things are but a fraction of the endless meaningless trash we see there.
And one more thing, please don’t sell me this bullshit that it’s a communication tool, cause up until a year no one knew what is Facebook, and 15 years ago you couldn’t basically use a phone which is not connected to a wall or a sidewalk, yet people managed to communicate, believe it or not. So to conclude, the Facebook is nothing but a tool for people to become socially accepted by others – And after Marketing class today, I'm even more certain of that.
So now go ahead, and take out all your aggression at me, even though you know I'm right.
Have a great weekend all, and don’t forget to check my new Facebook picture...(:
YV
