I think we need to give Facebook a chance to advance forward into an interpersonal networking vessel in which, no one will ever be left at home again. The opportunity to gather and share with people that are on the same page as yourself, combining all efforts to a common goal. Although, if I do not leave this spot and get out there in the world… to at the least, put a smile on someones face, enlighten with my kindness, or poke on the their shoulder. I feel as though I am wasting valuable time… never really sharing or considerately interacting with others. After all, I’m never alone… we are all place holders for God…

I completely agree with both of you on how Facebook has become a huge social problem even though it is suppose to help you socialize with others. Facebook is a great tool to keep in touch with old friends but people need to realize that always being on and seeing how everyone is living their lives prevents you from living yours. Its like reality shows, people sit in front of the TV to see what happened on the next episode of Jersey Shore instead of going out and living their own life. People just need to limit themselves and not spend every minute on Facebook in order to live their own lives, and have their own stories, and really socialize with people face to face, not through computers.

Let’s just hope ‘they’ don’t find medicinal purposes for it! Then I would have the excuse I need. Ha!

Yes, I to agree with you Facebook has become social problem for many. I used to have issues with it myself when I had an active Facebook account I found myself not getting housework done. I slacked on getting shopping and important business handled because I was spending hours commenting on Friends status and putting up comments of my own that I thought people would find interesting. I became a Facebook addict without even realizing it! But one day I went cold turkey and deleted my account and realized how much better my life was without it. Facebook is like digital Marijuana. If you take a few puffs of it more than likely you will be just dandy. But, if you become a total Face book stoner then it can really effect your life and you will become a slave to it. My advice to all out there would be to lay off of the Facebook Man!! It can eventually lead to the harder stuff like chatting on your PS3 at two in the morning!! That’s when know you got a real problem!
