Dear Facebook Users,
Why is it that you insist on updating the masses on every trivial detail of your life? Things like "Getting ready to eat dinner" or "Shopping for tampons" are not even remotely interesting to me or anyone else and frankly, if this is all you can come up with to report, then neither are you. Or at least this is a consideration that goes through my mind every time I read about you taking a piss or doing other such unremarkable mundane activities. I mean, cmon, I know you aren't really that lame otherwise I wouldn't be friends with you in the first place. But when you post these nonsense details, please realize that it does make me question the idea that maybe you are this boring in real life too. And if you are one of those people I haven't spoken to for ten years, I really have nothing other than your Facebook posts to go by.
Have you noticed your number of Facebook friends declining?

You really hit home with this one. PAINFULLY true.
ReplyDeleteGunter, I appreciate your candor, but how else are we supposed to communicate with each other and share in our daily lives? Many youth today have been on facebook and myspace for so long, they have lost the art of the real life connection, and therefore reach out in what you call "boring" ways through facebook. Perhaps you could see these status updates as a cry for help of a generation who feels so isolated that they no longer know how to tell someone face to face that they need to go to the bathroom -- something you and I have been fortunate enough to be able to do our whole lives.
