"Meeting New Strangers!" by DEV

I haven’t actually eaten breakfast yet, but this morning I found myself in front of the computer. I snapped out of my delusion and realized that I was already logged in to Facebook.

It’s natural, right? That when you open Google Chrome or some other internet browser, you automatically click on the Facebook logo? It’s bookmarked in my computer, and I’m pretty sure it’s bookmarked in every other computer there is. Everybody uses Facebook now!

Facebook is like your I.D. in the cyber world. Your timeline represents who you are (and who you pretend to be, sometimes). The point is if you know how to use the internet, you know how to use Facebook. It’s become a need. I mean, humans are social beings right? That’s according to some scientist, so maybe it’s true. If you are a social being, (meaning to say if you are human) then you MUST know how to use social networking sites.  Oh no…Earth has been dominated by Mark Zuckerberg! Did I spell that right? I barely care who created Facebook. As long as I can use what he created, that’s fine with me. 

Re-reading my post, I realized that I sound a bit too addicted to Facebook. I’m not. In fact, Ark and I aren’t that attached it. I mean, I could go very long without it. I only need my blog. LOL. The only real reason I check my Facebook account is to check the notifs. What if somebody posts on my wall-something important? I wouldn’t know ‘cause I never browsed my own profile, right? What if it’s somebody’s birthday? I wouldn’t be able to greet them, right? FACEBOOK IS VERY IMPORTANT.

What will we do without those precious Like buttons? How can we live without all the games and apps that only Facebook can provide? You know what, we can’t! Nope, no can do. Without Facebook, our lives will be a mess. Who else will remind us of people’s birthdays? Don’t tell anybody, but we never remember anybody’s birthday, except when Facebook tells us. The days when we had to remember every single birthday…LONG GONE!

Thanks Facebook. You’ve given us the chance to meet new strangers every day. I mean friend requests from people you don’t know is normal now. That’s why a lot of people get raped or killed. Just kidding:  I meant a lot of people meet new “friends”.

LOL. Time to unfriend most of the people on my “friends list”. After all, I don’t really know them. How the heck could I be friends with people I don’t know? Why the heck will I inform them of the important events of my life? Yup, I’ll be doing some unfriending, alright. 

But first, I'll handle my real life by eating breakfast. My online social life isn't as important as food.
