I just don't get it :oops: I've tried but I just don't.
I signed up a while back, it seemed like the thing to do, everyone else is doing it so I thought there must be something in it. I always used to be at the front of the queue for anything new on the internet but kept away from FB for a long while.
I simply don't see the point in hearing every small detail about peoples lives, details that are often very personal, sometimes offensive and quite often meaningless. I thought it would be nice to catch up with friends and family but I have a small list of people that have never bothered to email me (or return my emails) so what is the point?
As for the games....Farmville? Members of my family play it day in day out, what a waste of life. tender my crops, send me a horseshoe....the life sapping continues. They tell me it's great as they interact with friends.....well, swap nails and horseshoes anyway. Who'll tend to my crops whilst I'm away from the PC? Can you water my flowering whatevers for me? IT ISN'T REAL!
Sorry, I just had to rant. Do I delete my account and turn my back on Facebook? Do I remove all of those long lost 'friends' that I once worked with 20 years ago? The people that come out of the woodwork just to bump up their friend numbers is incredible.
Please disagree with me, please tell me what a wonderful social interaction it is and how wrong I am!
