It’s all about the “Me” generation. In this age of mass information overload, many people feel so insignificant…lost even. In turn, they post on social networking sights and video sites ..hoping someone will read/listen/watch. Sometimes it seems like they feel they have no identity if they can’t get themselves out there in cyber land. It’s a topic I’m quite interested in actually. I’m curious of the ways in which the internet has changed cultures/societies – all the way down the behaviour and cognition of the individual who is lost in it.
Any ways, I have a few people on my FB that post in this manner. One is a long time friend and the others are younger family members. I really detest the game requests/alerts from games I don’t play ..I block them immediately. I only share my game information/posting with a few people who play the same game (so no one else has to see it).
The only times I post is when I want to share a controversial link, during holidays (to wish everyone well), birthdays and the odd announcement of what I’m up to. An Example: About two weeks ago, I posted a picture of a dish we made because we don’t really, um, cook. We are trying to learn how to cook more than just pasta (and eat healthier), so we made Potato and Kale Enchiladas (vegan). We home-made the sauce and everything ..I was so proud that I had to share it on FB! :)
@Symbeline and @FutureMemory I’m rarely beaten at Srabble (the board game any ways; haven’t tried it online yet) :P
