Yes, yes, I have recieved multiple mails, many messages, and now there are people poking my wall (AND WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN???) about my recent attempt to join the latest wave of stupidity in this universe.
That's a pretty insulting statement to social media, but I want to make something really clear, which is that I love social media. The problem that I have is that I am upset by the world I live in because social media actually prevents people from connecting at a higher level. No need to call, mail, or, *gasp* talk in person?!?!? Who are you? Is there a high-speed connection for that?
I want to use social media as a way to connect with my friends, family, co-workers and frenemies on another level to further enhance my socialability. The point is, I'm pretty darn social already. I think if I was any more social at this rate, I would be losing my mind. Especially since working two jobs, going to school for 30-ish hours a week and having group projects, and an independent PR assignment along with volunteering is starting to make me think my plate is a little full, and I accidentally walked into an all-you-can-eat-buffet-and-did-I-tell-you-that-I'm-part-of-Overeaters-Anonymous? What's that? Try the spring rolls? OK!
Sigh.
All that besides, using facebook, and understanding what it is and who it is meant to target is really quite interesting. It's a powerful machine to connect with people, but as per usual, the drama associated with all this connection is killing me.
Long story short, Facebook is a powerful tool.
But be careful, or Facebook might make a powerful tool out of you.
