Facebook: Why I Hate it...

This article is dead on with the assumption that Facebook has taken over a part of the worlds current social structure. Just like the author of the article I also found myself even checking up on my profile while reading the article. I am as guilty as they get for checking up on my page way more times a day than is healthy. I find myself getting bored and so I wander on to my page to check it, go to a different site, and then 3 minutes later I'm bored and back on Facebook. Although, I agree it is completely unnecessary to know other peoples obsessions, tendencies, or other sources of personal information, I think that Facebook is a great addition to friendships across the world. I know that I personally keep more connected with friends and family members more now with Facebook than I would have without it. Now that I have graduated from high school and my friends are scattered across the country its great to have a place to go to talk to them and see what they have been up to that is not just personal e-mails. It is fun to see other peoples pictures or videos or some sorts of drama that may be happening. So, although it is full of relationships, status updates, games, pictures, groups, and other things that we may not care about, Facebook can be enjoyable, if not addicting, and help to keep friends in touch across the world.
