Facebook, what's it all about?

My blog today is about the social network Facebook and what it has made us become So where do I start on the subject of Facebook? It has taken over the society that we live in, Everything you do, everything you say seems to be published on Facebook these days, you go out and end up being tagged in photos you don't even remember being taken.  Why can no one ever have a conversation these days in person. It used to be can I have your number? Now it is are you on Facebook? How did this happen? I remember a day when there was no Facebook and it wasn't the same world it really wasn't. People spend a good part of there day looking at the statuses people put and the comments they put, but really who are these people you are reading about and are you really interested what they are having for there tea? Do you really care if they have a terrible hangover and can't get out of bed?  The answer is no you don't, you just go on it as habit.It becomes an addiction, a routine. I bet the first thing you check in the morning is your Facebook. And has anything changed over night? you take a quick look and what have you learnt? That someone couldn't get to sleep last night? Facebook causes so many problems Some girl writes on your boyfriends wall and the first thing you think of is who the hell is she, my boyfriend is cheating on me!!! Then there is the complicated relationship status, it says single but there seeing someone, so there not really single are they. Then if someone breaks up there status goes from in. Relationship to single and it's broadcast to everyone on Facebook. I mean would you see it on the news " mr x is no longer in a relationship with miss y" When did this become the way we live, to broadcast everything on Facebook?  What happened to the good old days when people spoke on the phone? There is no privacy anymore and I don't want it to be part of my life anymore I am going back to the old fashioned way of communicating with people, and maybe you all should.  Xoxo
