In A Perfect Facebook World

Everything is a photo opt now days with everyone on FB.

It seems that everyone is sharing and posting thoughts of wisdom (and stupidity) pictures of every day, their dog or cat, even their kids. People around the world feel compelled to share almost everything they do and hope everyone hits the “like”button.

It’s almost unbelievable that FB has everyone uploading photos what they like, don’t like, where they go and what they do.

If your government asked you to do this, would you?

What about the people that share their thoughts or photos that don’t get “liked” by everyone, Is this an issue? Are we causing a new type of depression or is an old type brought out in a new social community?

Are there people on FB that feel their friends don’t care?

With the social society throwing all the “look at me”s, how many sit back and watch wishing they could live like others.

How many people have it this good to share all they do? Is it real? No one can have such a good day every day with our economy, money devalued, unemployment out of control, poverty etc… Right?

I’m not sure but I would bet there are a lot of emotional trauma and scars from being FB bashed or not getting the “likes” from their piers.
I haven’t had the pleasure, but I have seen posts where some have received hate comments and messages.

Is FB a problem on the rise? Kids and adults trying to keep up with the happy and coolest posts?
Have we created a fake society?
Have you ever heard, “oh I should Facebook that!” I think we all have.

We have all heard the comment… “I don’t need to watch soap operas, I look at Facebook!”

Have our lives become dependent on the “like” button?

With the games from FarmVille to Candy Crush to many others, how much time is spent on FB? How much time is spent looking for the best post or statement to share? What about spending time doing other things.
We are being pounded at home, work,on the road driving, unless you go to a place with no service. Then the comment comes up “why would any one want to live here!”

Is this our new reality, trying to talk with someone and they don’t hear a word because they are glued to their phone watching the latest video or looking at what’s happening on FB instead of engaging in a conversation or joining the rest of the room with their thoughts.

FB seems to be invading our lives and that is just what FB wants. Notifications on your phone, iPad, computer… Someone hits the “like” button and the phone goes off, the iPad dings, the computer honks to make sure we come back time after time.

There is much more to life than FB, spend quality time with your family and friends, the ones who really count in your life.

I guess what I’m trying to say is… You are cool. You are special. Your family thinks you are the best. You don’t need the approval or the “likes” or FB community to be special.

One thought on “In A Perfect Facebook World

  1. You know what’s funny is how I see more adults than teens posting frequent “selfies” and status updates on Facebook these days. And the ones that frequently post and get lots of “likes” seem to never “like” back for their friends. Really…!!!

    And sometimes I think, if I didn’t need to manage the Facebook page for the company I work for, (and if only my relatives and friends overseas would communicate in other ways) I would hardly be going on Facebook. It’s just because those Facebook feeds can tend to show too much more information than I want to know at times.
