the world has changed.we live a life of isolation yet we dont feel like it thanks to social media.coming up with with topics for this theme was NOT hard,social media stretches out my arms and touches everything.
anyone who really know me,know my addiction to twitter and facebook.i didnt hide it,i acknowledge my illness and embrace it.LOL. but seriously ,i was dared by a friend of mine to stay off for a week.it was hard,no joke *i failed* .but i realized how much i dependent on it and how UNHEALTHY it was in all aspects of the word.
on the plus,all this has brought us closer somehow.we know what`s happening to friends and family near and far.we know about the latest and greatest in music,movies,foods and gadgets.and if you have a large following ,imagine how many people you can reach with your message.
I HAVE 3000+ FRIENDS ON FACEBOOK,WITH 70% OF THEM WHOM I NEVER HAD MORE THAN ONE CONVERSATION WITH.
I POST LINKS OF INTERESTING VIDEOS AND ARTICLES THAT NOBODY REALLY CARES A\BOT AND " LIKE " SOME OF MY FAVOURITE MUSIC - the cool ones,of course :P-
FAKEBOOK.
so ,what can people learn about me through my facebook profile? NOTHING .i pick and choose what i want the world to see me as and hide all my awkwardness and embarrassments.the problem with online sharing such as facebook,instagram and online gaming is tht they make it too easy for us to hide our true identities from each other.we tend to potray ourselves in a certain way.we dont show them who we actually are-with all the flaws.
PLEASE DONT FIGHT HERE.
the example of emotional display is fighting.this is the case for lovers quarrels and those who just have a chip (possibly more) on their shoulders.FIGHTING ONLINE IS PATHETIC ! if you live in the same town,meet somewhere and have it out ,coward! and if your opponent lives elsewhere,you could do it privately on a separate channel or call the blogger up and spit fire through the phone.with matters of the heart,these public hate fests are downright ugly because we get to read all their dirty laundry.enjoyable for those of us who thrive on other`s people miseries,but irritating for those of us who dont like drama.
Telling the world or your social media friends your EVERY freaking move is not needed either.unless you live in the high pace world of espionage or a siper famous,i dont wanna know what you had for breakfast or how soon after you pooped it out.telling me your location ican be fun if i want to meet you.it`s even more exciting if you wanna help a stalker to locate you.kidding aside,im actually thinking about the safe issue here.before you serious bloggers ,tweeters or post junkies get on my case ,im just saying there`s limit and there`s such thing as overdoing it.so, moderation is the key or better yet make it newsworthy.
there are pros and cons to everything in this world and there`s also a balance.so... find it ! :)
