To Facebook Or Not To Facebook?
Facebook has become such an influential part of
our everyday society. "It gives us the impression
that we are out of the deep blue of school" As stated by Dr. David Preston. Yet in all honesty, Facebook has become a way of life. An emotional and mental release. For it is not without technology that a lot of things wished to be said would be said. It seems to be, that the fear that runs through our minds, looses its strength when we are hidden behind a screen. Why is it that we no longer find the ability to confront our emotions when placed in a realistic situation ? I wonder how different our lives might be , had we said everything in truth rather then in a online conversion. Would we be better off with our minds spoken out , or would we fall short of the respectable approach decided by humanity?That is to say, would we be condemned for doing what most ask of us (To say what we are thinking)? Although it does make me wonder. Is Facebook dangerous? Are we relying too fully on a screen to get our messages across? Why are we slowly decaying in the aspect of true human contact? Just because you are given this tool as a way to connect to others. That does not mean you should be able to abuse its power. We have now taken it upon ourselves to deny responsibility for our actions through this almost pathetic mannerism. For society has developed a bad habit of finding shortcuts and Facebook is of no exception. It is a shortcut to facing the world. One in which leads to a weak sense of being. Take my advice, try to leave the addicting aspect of Facebook for a week. See what you did with those hours once spent with your face shoved in the glowing light of a screen. See where your emotions and thoughts end up if not on a post. See what new things you can accomplish without being involved with the dramatic aspect of the surfaced web. Please comment to this blog with your adventurous findings. Best of luck!
