Actually that's quite thought-provoking in that it proves FB membership is the polar opposite of 'private'. Yes, they seem to have an irresistible urge 'to communicate', no matter how banal their 'news' is? My parents' eyes used to roll when I kept falling off my bike, a la 'Bloody hell, Cerb's fallen off his bike again!'
How do I know what? I was, but I'm not now (as I made clear in an earlier post on this thread?), and it was an experience I'd rather forget . . . as making the OP on this thread is too. Jesus I made a spontaneous post of half a dozen words merely to conjure up an evocative event and suddenly everyone wants to make a world war out of it . . . . . . including a lecture on how effing FB began - and nobody cares less about that than me!!
Well Facebook is the polar opposite of private. Human beings are social creatures by nature so we are programmed to want human interaction. The problem nowadays is that we have found interaction through the internet and text messages instead of face to face. So while we are technically more social today we are also more anti-social because we don't really meet people anymore we communicate with them through words and pictures. Case in point. On Facebook recently people have been posting those meme pics asking "For 1 million dollars would you live here for 2 months without internet or tv?" It's a picture of like a huge cabin on a beautiful beach....or a nice cabin in the woods.... I saw that and thought it was a joke like are you serious lol? Would anybody seriously say no? Then I realized no it wasn't a joke. There are A LOT of people out there who would literally not give up their internet and phones to go live on a beach resort cabin for a couple months, even if they got paid a million bucks. That blew my mind...and is honestly kinda sad to me and shows what type of world we are living in now. Young people nowadays would rather have their cell phones and Facebook over going outside and doing anything at all.
