This weekend, I wanted to see if I could avoid Facebook so that I could get some work done for school. I achieved the goal. I only checked it one last time friday and then did not check it until monday. I did not feel the urge to check it because I kept myself occupied with homework. This relates to the concept of keeping entertained, which I was. I did not even feel a sense of disconnection for the cyber world. This also gave me the idea that I don’t need all those social networks. So I decided to delete my myspace account, bebo, hi 5 and ringo and flixter accounts. I think just having Facebook ables me to not spread myself so thin so that I can concentrate on one and so many people have it so why would I need more than one form of networking. I got tired of repeating myself on all the different accounts.
I also personally like developing friendships in person rather than over the internet. This also goes for chatting, I would rather have a face to face conversation rather than via MSN. Even when talking on the phone conversations lack the 3rd component visual or nonverbal communication, which is important when trying to see if the person is trying to deceive you or how to interpret what they say. I guess I am kind of old fashion in that way or just prefer to look at people when they are talking.
Anyways, I just wanted to share and be proud of the fact that I avoided Facebook for the weekend 
PS I thought this was funny!
