Facebook.....

Wow..where do i begin...

Facebook...how can something so good, become something so bad? Such a good thing: being able to find old friends, new friends, family. And then such a bad thing: People telling us everything they are doing throughout the entire day, how they are "so mad at..." so and so, oh and the rediculous drama people always find themselves in. People have created such an arterial world for themselves, that they have a hard time living in the real one. You wouldn't dare say half the stuff to someone in real life as you would on Facebook, (people are so brave on the internet) and also...whats with the friends thing...so you have all these friends on Facebook, but would you even say hi to half of them if you saw them in person...probably not. And what is with all the attention whores, who post things just for attention, or to get a rise out of people...i dont get it...

I just dont get how we as a society, have become so messed up from "Social Networking" ...i mean, some people dont even have real relationships anymore...they can be whoever they want...on the internet...

And now we have it on our cell phones....not only can we be anti-social at home, but now we can do it on the go! We've got texting, twitter, facebook, myspace, etc, etc. Now dont get me wrong, I love technology, but some people cant handle it. If you cant drive across town without sending 5 text messages...you have a problem. If something interesting happens during your day, and the first thing you thing of is.."Oh I cant wait to put this on Facebook." ...you have a problem. If your phone or computer breaks and you say..."OMG my life is over"...you have a problem. It has become an addiction for people, they cant be away from it for to long, before they start having "withdraw" symptoms....

I know there are some people out there that can handle themselves...but there are way to many people out there that can't....I know its hard to believe, but at one time, there was no internet, no cell phones, or texting....and people actually had to talk in PERSON! They had to tell there problems to actually people, and if they had a problem with someone...they had to tell that person to there face.

So saying all that to say this....People need to keep real relathionships "real" and not just across the internet. People need to talk things out with people in person. And lastly....if you need attention....get a dog....
