the fronts of social networking

these days you can be anybody you want on sites like Facebook and MySpace and etc… the fronts of social networking. these days anybody can be sexy and hip, they can be smart and funny, they can say whatever they want without real life regards. it’s so easy to take a good picture of yourself and say and do whatever you want behind a computer screen. the virtual reality of living: have they all gone viral or do they all have a virus?
people spend hours on social networking sites each day. these hours of trendy talk and sharing with “friends”- we’ve forgotten real social interaction with humans. but, that’s not my point because I could care less about interacting socially with the public. it’s just that I see such a major waste in socializing with people in such a detached way. there’s nothing personal in their daily lives and there’s nothing worth connecting to. there’s no personal in connecting with people on social networking sites.
who is the real person behind the picture and cleaver name that you’re talking to? in real life situations would you be friends? if their grandma peaced out for really real would you care? only if they take pictures and post them on Facebook. and if this person quits updating their page- how long before you forget the even exist?
just my point is that I don’t see the connection. if you really care about these people then there’s still the old fashion phone, you know they have these things called restaurants where people can go and eat and talk and have good times in real life. real life always creates greater memories and connects us deeper. so, I just saying if you wouldn’t want to hang out with these people in for real really life then where’s the bother in reading all their updates and being noisy with every picture they post to Facebook?
I can see some benefits with sharing information and pictures on social networks. a new album or novel is coming out from your favorite artist and you post it so others can know and experience. if a family member goes on vacation and posts millions of pics then that’s kinda fun to look at (but spare everyone the comments- for god sakes if you wouldn’t say that in person then simmer down with the keyboard). and I mean there’s more benefits but honestly if you’re using it for those proposes then you’re going to be on there for a total of 20 mins.
and another point is think of the time you can save with not spending hours and hours on social networking sites. you could read a book and gain knowledge, you could create something that’s really fucking cool (and then, like, take a pic of it and, like, totally post it on Facebook), you could take a walk, you could clean your house… your mind would be clear and the real people you interact with in real life become more important to you. you find that you don’t miss looking at every whore pic and every comment people you don’t even barely know post. you find that you don’t miss those people.
I should make the point that I deleted my Facebook and MySpace account long time ago but I have a twitter account. and my twitter account is for artist and political people updates. some celebrities I like. and for news updates. I spend probably 5-10 mins a day looking at it. I think I have my cousin and my boyfriend on there and that’s all. people, with their silly comments and god damn internet way of writing these days- to, you know, sound like they’re right there with you, just annoy the every lasting piss out of me.

yeah- god damn shit like that (insert dramatic eye roll here)
