I was to the cinema and watched this movie about Facebook and its creators. Well, it was not born on good intentions… This is somehow crazy to think that so many people did contribute without noticing it to some men getting really rich. Facebook was created in 2004, i think i did registred sometime when i was living in Sweden, but i don’t remember exactly when. Maybe 2008? I had my blogg much longer before, it was in 2005 i created it. I cannot pretend that it always have been good quality things on here but now it’s like a good memory of the time going.
Anyway, Faceoobk is much more tricky than real life. People act on it like nothing was impossible. I mean, when you’re seeing someone in the eyes, you cannot say that much easily “you’re not my friend anymore”. I did meet some old friends on there, and much more contact with people living far away. So it has good and bad effects on my relationslife. It is much more easier to keep in touch with unimportant things on FB than it is to call och write an email. This is both good and bd. Good because then you may have contact that you wouldn’t have because “you have no time” but bad because then, you never take the time to write letters or call a friend for a discussion.
Ah well, i don’t know what to think really. I go on FB several times a day and miss it when i have to be offline. This is like i cannot live without this virtual connection to my friends. But how did i live the 26 other years of my life? I think i never felt as alone as i can feel tonight, on this saturday evening, while writting on my blogg on how i love my virtual friends. Maybe i was
carring much more to real contacts and being more into it too.
FB is also an easy way to get positiv feed back. Everyone is looking for attention nowadays, isn’t it? and if it is nice, if people like what you say or do, then you feel better. It’s natural, everyone is so, even the one calming they’re rebell. If you write smart status on FB, then your friends will hoppefully like it and you will get your feed back and be able to cary on for some
time. This may sound simple or manipulativ but i really think that it works like that. Did you ever notice that people posting negativ things never got any attention? and how you get much more “confort” on FB than you could get in real life when it gets on small things? Like how people just get one truth and just give their opinion, often in a hard way? Everyone ignores what is really behind the post but everyone comments.
FB is also pathetic when you can read between the lines and knows every inch of the life of people around you. Your neighbours are facebooking you. Yeah, big brother.
I am really wondering if i have to stay on it or instead give much more attention to the people that i like. But i already feel so alone that i am afraid to close this social door to myself.
