Thanks to JOUR1111, I've been having to record my media usage for a few days now and I'm genuinely surprised at the amount of time I spend on Facebook. Not because I spend a lot of time on it, but because I don't. I would go on and analyze my habits regarding Facebook, but I think I'll save that for my actual assessment. What I wanted to talk about was Facebook itself and, more specifically, this article:
Facebook makes us happy... does that mean that it's okay to log on as often as we do? Some people would argue that smoking weed or excessively drinking alcohol makes them happy and relaxed, does that mean that those shouldn't be a problem either? Now, I'm not classifying Facebook as a "dangerous" addiction (like smoking and alcoholism), but the more Facebook is updated, the more Apps you can play online, the more possibilities that are opened to us from this social networking site, the more people are going to be glued to their computer screens, missing all the action going on around them and focusing on their own imaginary world.
I am not telling everyone to stop going on Facebook. As much as I like to bash it, I would be lost without Facebook, just like nearly every other user out there. I'm just saying that just because something makes us happy,as this article suggests, that does not mean that we should get into the habit of using it excessively.
On another, more amusing, note! I also found this article which I would like to share with you all:
I don't really need to say anything else, do I? Being married to two people may not a smart idea, but making it known over Facebook? Oh lordy.
