Facebook


A minute ago, I was so about to delete my facebook account. I have had that account for years. There are pictures, notes, and I have like 45 friends on there. I logged into my account and I always see the same people putting status updates and pictures, and some of them actually the majority of them are from college or high school and I never speak to them anymore. That is to say we don't call each other on the phone, we don't go out, we don't even communicate via facebook. So what is the point of logging in and seeing their status updates, their pictures, etc. And the worst is that it is always the same people that come up on that Mini Feed. I am seriously considering blocking my account. If people care and want to talk to me either call me or send me an email. I have lost interest in facebook. Yet in some ways I find it addicting, you can know anything about those long lost friends without even actually communicating to them. That in and of itself is just pathetic and I feel every time I check my facebook account, which is usually daily, I feel that I am in a way pathetic as well. There is just no good use for it anymore. I remember during college it was kinda interesting and helpful, but now it is just old. I was very much going to delete the account but what stopped me is that just recently my little cousin in Bosnia and my aunt in Germany joined facebook. It would be wonderful if we can use facebook to exchange pictures. ........I left my desk to speak to my sister. And she told me I might be able to either deactivate it without losing pictures and so on, or I should just block everyone else. Hmmm, I think I will just go ahead and block 90% of the people that have added me because there is just no use to be friends on there when in reality in real life we are not friends any longer.
