Facebook - a dissertation

A short dissertation on what I dislike (and a little about what I like) about Facebook.

1. It keeps you in constant contact with people (or so most people think, which means if you don't immediately respond, people get mad/offended/upset/worried, etc.)

2. People believe they are more important than everyone else (just like in the real world, only amplified)

3. People love to be right. Even when they are wrong, and you have verified information to prove it, they still will not back down, and will even miss inform others en masse in order to "prove" their point.

4. "Talking" to people you haven't seen in 10 - 20 years knowing full well that if Facebook didn't exist, they would never have found a way to contact you ever again.

5. Constantly reading about everyone's mundane tasks of everyday life. Yes, I did laundry, too. Oh how nice you took your kid to the indoor park. Oh, I am so sorry your kid sneezed today.

6. All the pictures of abused animals/children/women/etc. Yes, I know it happens. Posting a pic of it on Facebook will not make it stop.

7. All the statuses that say if one million people "like" my post, my dad will buy me X, Y, or Z - or that if you share this post, a company will magically know about it and give you a free iPad.

8. The fact that it's pretty much the only way some people communicate anymore.

And now what I like about it...

9. Keeping in touch with friends you might not call every day but still like to keep in contact with.

and 10. Being able to contact an entire ministry at once to keep them informed about meeting times/agendas, etc. (which is the ONLY reason I still have a Facebook account).

And that's all I have to say about that! (For now, anyway!) :)

God's blessings on your life and your Facebook account. ;)
