Ok enough with Facebook!

After those painful 40 days were over....I fell back to the addiction of Facebook. :( The good thing about now is that I am not on it as often as I used to. I am still lost on what people post because I don't tend to check it like every five minutes lol. I check it like once or twice a week. I guess i got into the habit of thinking that i didn't have one and used my time more wisely because it does take so much time away from you. I guess I have learned my lesson. Facebook does have its benefits and some bad things about it as well.

It feels a little weird.

So i don't know who has read my facebook blog about deactivating my facebook account....well its becoming so hard. I mean i know its nice that I have more time but now everyone is always saying did you see this or that in facebook so I feel so out of everything. I left facebook for lent (i don't know if that is how you spell it) but man it is becoming a sacrifice. :( I am trying to not go back into facebook. I like my life right now not knowing of anyones drama. lol. What do you think??? should I go back to facebook or not?

Drop box???

I know how we are learning how to use drop box but is it as confusing for everyone as it is for me? I really don't know how it works. I have tried to save the file but it saves as a new document and it doesn't save on drop box. I get so frustrated with this. I don't know how this works. any advice?

Again with Facebook!

I know we have discussed about Facebook and again i am making that my topic. I have deactivated my Facebook since it does take a lot of my time away but what i have found out is that Facebook is not just an addiction but a way to get news. I know I have missed a lot since I am not in contact with my Facebook friends.Recently everyone is posting important information...just when i deactivate my Facebook. I can see why it is an addiction, but at the same time is a way to stay connected and up to date with news or what is going  around with someones life. I am going to have to go back to Facebook soon. lol. well i haven't told you the real reason why i deactivated  it...it was because of midterms!!! lol I needed my time to study and not have the tendency of logging into Facebook. I guess it has helped me out. But the thing is that I can't way to go back! :)

Cyber vs. Real

In today's technology we see that it is developing fast. there are new things created that are to make life easier. As we have our lives easier we see that now everything is online. there are games online, we have online communities and there are websites that offer the opportunity for you to create your own life. but what is real and what is not?? do you ask yourself that whenever you add someone in facebook that that person is real?. Sometimes people get too caught up in their cyber life that they completely forget how to socialize in real life. I believe that as technology improves it just confuses people on what is real and what is not. People today spend more hours online than out there talking to real people and getting to know real people. I think that later on we are all just going to be home and we wont even have to go out. we will live our lives online. that is kind of scary for me. but i hope that doesn't happen.

Facebook.....an addiction or just a pastime?

Facebook has become the new thing today. How many hours do we spend on Facebook a day? isn't it a little addicting? In class the professor used the analogy that Facebook was like a casino and I do agree with that. It does get a little addicting to find out what others are doing and also the gossip that is going around. All the games in a casino are the news feed in Facebook and when you play in the casino you are writing comments and liking status in Facebook.

I mean I am not against that, I have a Facebook and I like being on it but i don't check it that often. Its good to have something to do when you are bored at a computer. Its good to know how your friends are feeling or what they are going through. I think it Facebook has both positive and negative features but I still enjoy being part of it! :)
