There's no friend like a facebook friend...
So, what is the point of having 600+ friends on facebook if you barely talk to 10 of them? We go through all the trouble of adding "friends" from elementary school, random acquaintances, and those coworkers that we could not care less about, and for what reason? Are we hoping they will be impressed by the overly attractive pictures of ourselves on our profile? Or is there some kind of secret contest to see how many "friends" we can have? Or perhaps we are simply afraid that we might offend someone and, so we add everyone we have ever talked to to our friends list. Maybe I am just really late in catching the facebook fever, but I'm having a hard time seeing value having all those facebook "friends." Any friends that I care to keep in touch with, I keep in touch with. Everyone else... I can live without knowing their most recent crush, or seeing the pictures of them on their family reunion in Montana last year.

Haha! I completely agree. I never go on facebook anymore because I get tons of updates on my friends but it is hard for me to think back on how I know them.
ReplyDeleteAgreed. I deleted my facebook account. Such a waste of life. I am a much happier human being these days.
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree!! I just wrote the social networking lecture for our class and I was on this same train of thought!!
