As I sit in my dorm room, bored out of my mind and avoiding homework, I realized something. It's cliche to say that Facebook has taken over the thoughts, actions and debates of kids my age but it is also very true. My biology homework is sitting in front of me along with my computer and I keep jumping back to my computer to see if anything has changed on my home page. I am not looking for anything in particular, just looking out of habit. It is quite embarrassing how much time people my age spend on Facebook. I think I would be a lot more studious if Facebook was not around but on the other hand, what would I do with all my spare time? Facebook has shaped the way that we live, it is how we learn about the drama, or people passing away, or people getting married. It is now a way of life. I don't know what compelled me to write about that, but that just blows my mind. People wonder how the teenagers of the past lived without it, but I wonder what it would be like. I could delete my page, but what good would that do if everyone else still has it? I don't know, just my random thoughts.

I feel like I could get straight A's if I didn't have Facebook. I always feel like something new is being updated and I get notifications on my phone too so it's even more distracting!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. Our lives are completely surrounded by Facebook. I will get my computer and say to myself Im just checking my email. Then I pull up my web browser and its like without even thinking about what im doing Im reading my newsfeed. I wonder what would happen if Facebook decided to shut down its entire site.
ReplyDeletei couldnt agree more. I feel like every time i get online i go and type face without even thinking. Its like my brain and fingers are in autopilot.
