So I consider myself to be a little “tech-savvy” and up on current technology. I’ve been on every public networking site you can imagine: MySpace, BlackPlanet, hi5, Facebook, Twitter and the like. I can confidently say that these sites are addictive and time consuming. There was a segment on the Tyra Banks show that featured a teenage girl who didn’t graduate high school due to being online so often. She began gaining weight, not going out as much, her boyfriend had to make time to come see her at home due to the fact that she was glued to her computer. She’s an extreme case but you catch my drift.
Fast forward to earlier tonite, I’m on Twitter and my friend tweets this “ok so every time I get on fb (facebook) I think….now why do I still have this”. To be honest I was thinking the exact same thing! I used to claim it helped me stay in touch with friends and family, which it did for a short time span. However I found myself with over 800 “friends” 90% of which I didn’t talk to on a consistent basis. It dawned on me that Facebook served me no real purpose anymore. With this new found knowledge I happily found the deactivate button and deleted Facebook from my life.
Goodbye Facebook, hello real world and human interaction =)
