My house 's on fire.
Get out of there.
Wait I need to put it on my Facebook status.
Hilarious this sentence maybe it just about summarises what Facebook has become in our lives today.
As a matter of fact I had found this sentence on Facebook itself.
No need to say that I promptly liked it (I happen to be a Facebook addict myself).
Still I feel guilty of being so addicted to social networking.
Its not that I would die without it (or would I?) its just that I can't entangle myself from it.
My life,my very own existence has become dependent on it.
A day without a notification is a day that's been left unnoticed.
No message in my inbox?Feels like no one remembers me.
No one available to chat.
The world becomes such a lonely place.
Ghosh Facebook, what have you done to me? Before Facebook and all the internet stuff came (an era which only our grandpas must be aware of ) there used to be actual socialization.
People used to meet each other, feel out to each other and talk face-to-face.
However social the internet may have become, it just cant replicate the human touch.
Today I guess the situation is pretty bad.
For until and unless you get a virtual poke you hardly remember anybody.
You add tons of ' friends' (it has become something like a Facebook score-the no of friends you have) but you hardly know anyone of them well.
Or even the ones you thought you did,you are not sure about them anymore.
Thankfully Facebook has added a cap to the no of friends you can have.
So that means when you are at the zenith of your social networking career,you are forced to pick out your actual friends and dump the rest.
Irony indeed.
I guess time to say LOL and ROTFLOL.
Whatever its demerits maybe (like anyone was bothered about it ) Facebook is here to stay.
If you use the internet you use Facebook.
It has become the rule of the thumb.
If you don't have an account you are bound to be termed uncool.
If Facebook was a country, then by population it would be the third largest in the world.
Some 500 million plus users and growing.
For everyone, old and young both are joining it.
Among them are parents and they for one have a very genuine reason in joining it.
For how else can they be friends with their children, know what their children 'like' and know what they think and feel? Facebook ofcourse has its pros.
We can share what we are thinking, what we like, what we are doing and what we will be doing.
All this with the people who matter in our life and unfortunately those with whom we seldom find time to interact.
Such is our hectic life that Facebook offers a safe haven, a gateway to that lost and ignored social life.
Anyway its cumbersome to check on each of our friend's life so it's a relief to get their updates and that too in their own words.
Facebook does offer what it says, it helps you connect with the people in your life.
Still I wish that I could be socially active without the internet and without Facebook.
I know I am dreaming, that's not possible in today's world but still I wish I could.
I lose my bet.
Facebook doesn't needs us, we need Facebook.
And badly too.
Wait there's a red spot on my Facebook home.
Aaaha! A notification.
I have got to go.
