"Facebook and Twitter are creating a vain generation of self-obsessed people with child-like need for feedback, warns top scientist" http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencet...child-like-need-feedback-warns-scientist.html Never used Facebook or Twitter but if the deterioration in some of my friends who use both a lot then this all makes sense. Also accounts for a lot of iLifers.
There are some sad ****ers on Facebook who feel the need to share every last detail of their unspectacular lives. I hardly bother with it.
The utter failure of the elder generation to understand youth culture and emergent technologies has imposed a blind moral panic that has directed accusations and misinformation toward every generation since the 50's. Mind you, there are subliminal satanic messages in rock and roll
Not a new phenomena though: [video=youtube;-kALGhbTxdg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kALGhbTxdg[/video]
I wish there was a shut the **** up button to click,this could go right along with the I like button. The worst offenders on FB are the couples who break up and leave update's such as Why are all men ****s,I had such a good night tonight,Im so lucky to have such good mate's,Im going on a date tonight woo hoo,I found out my old boyfriend is pretty dam good in the sack after going with a new fella 2nite! These are just what my ex has written this week,I will add more on here as she does!
I am sorry but this is all a load of ****e because self-obsessed people with child-like need for feedback existed long before facebook and twitter were around.
Sadly not, if that was the case I'd be ok with it. As it is there is always some friend-turned-****wit-Imbecile who says, check my page out our whatever, or the photos are only available on my wall or Facebook me. Or worse still some ex-friend, now social moron, who insists on telling you about his new 'friend' who happens to be his cousin's-boyfriend's-sister's-mate who is pissed in Salou and is tweeting about it. The era of the social moron has arrived.
It's just a different way of seeking attention. My old man used to be a right **** for showing off the family holiday photographs on a projector and screen and you had other boring bastards doing similar sorts of things. I spent half my cildhood prayiong for a power cut. If anything Facebook is better because you don't have to use it.
Have to say that the most annoying thing about facebook is the amount of gurning ****s on it. Best to be just brutally honest with them. Wee girl that I used to be mates with was a "friend" of mine and did nothing but moan. I replied to one of her comments that all she did was ****ing moan and to lighten up. A good few of her friends liked my comment and she quickly changed her tune. I cut her out of the loop though a few weeks later though.
