Today I am extremely bitter. The reason, unknown. But thats how it is today. I got on facebook for the first time in a week and a half, had 5 messages, 21 notifications, and 10 friend requests. I wonder WHY we thrive on social media. Most of the times we use facebook simply to stalk people who either we don't know very well or friends that have come and gone from our lives. It made me think, if I really want to know what is going on in these peoples lives, I should either become friends with them, oh, or actually pick up the phone and call them. But for some reason, I don't. It is easier to sit on my computer and look at pictures of their lives then make a real connection with them. Its pathetic. Its embarrassing. And everyone who has a facebook has probably caught themselves doing this before. Not only does facebook suffice as a useful stalking mechanism. But, it also just gives us pages upon pages on newsfeed on people we don't really care about. There are so many people who pop up on my newsfeed that I don't want to hear about. I'm sure everyone has those people that pop up and when you read their status, you go..."Really?" Well thats what I'm talking about. Facebook has just made us extremely judgmental and ridiculous, I have definitely been affected by this. But WOW. This world definitely is better without social media....
But on the other hand... I can't get rid of it.
Problems of the new generation
Sorry for the rant
