i was really just having fun with this thread. I will say overall for society FB and social media is def a negative, but for myself specifically it has def been a positive. it was a lot better at first when it was all good fun, but when people started posting about real life $hit, i knew it was headed in a bad direction fast. I use it myself purely for entertainment and in some cases information, usually about bands playing live shows. FB is not my method of keeping in touch with family, or anything like that. i def fell down the rabbit hole for a while, but have cooled off quite a bit. for the life of me i cant understand why someone would make a public post about their father dying, just brings everyone down and it sends a very important and personal message, largely to the wrong recipients, and at that point IMHO yes FB has become your reality and yes there are millions of people living life this way. it is basically virtual reality. Nothing meant personal to anyone here that uses FB publicly in that fashion, and I'm sure many of you do- I just personally do not understand it. I guess it just gets the message out instantly to everyone, but im not sure if people realize just how many people see that. In my mind the internet was alot better when everyone just had a website.
and as far as people posting pictures of what they are having for dinner, I find that far more interesting than a picture of a message board telling me that your train is 14 minutes late...really???
