Facebook

Facebook has pretty much been a part and parcel of our daily lives. Most of us would login at least once a day to check out the latest happenings with our friends and whatnots. Some would also compare this activity to that of stalking as you go around snooping into other people's profile pages and being in the know of things affecting your friends.

Interestingly enough, for me, its through this particular medium where i found my current love. There was some annoying application which i used to be active in (the irony!) and she just so happen to be on it as well. She clicked on my profile page and the rest is pretty much history as far as our relationship is concerned. We have been going on from strength to strength and whoever said online love wont last long? *shows fist*

On flipside however, facebook could also be a bearer for bad news. Exactly a year back, my dear friend passed on. The news of her passing caught on rather quickly on her fb profile page. The wall became a tributes page. It was also here that some who were mere acquiantance got the news and be in the know of things.

From the way i see it, the evolution of facebook has been instilled into everyone of us. It has become a way of living for most of us in this busy society. There are also some who refuses to join fb due to privacy issues. Having bosses who are also on fb is somewhat an inevitable thing in this digital age. So unless you're a real social butterfly, social media is the future of networking.

Depending how you look at it, it could either be a boon or bane. Finding a balance between reality and use of technology is essential as nothing beats interacting with someone in person. The psychologies behind that is for another story on another day.
