Refugee from Facebook questions the social media life
Re: Refugee from Facebook questions the social media life
I absolutely hate facebook for what it has done to everyone's lives.
I've ran into many old friends I went to school with, "oh Hi!" and that's followed by being denied a phone number "I'm on facebook, just add me so we can talk!" My own mother constantly begs me to make a facebook account everytime I go over there so I can look at people I went to school with who I most likely haven't seen in over 10 years and don't plan on looking at them again.
What happened to going out and having fun?
What happened to calling each other on the telephone to hear that person's voice and talk about the day?
I will never make a Facebook account...also zero privacy, I don't want everyone to know what I do, and don't need to know what everyone is doing 24/7.
