The Facebook Free Blog

     Last night, I was think back on what I really use Facebook for, and it occurred to me that I mainly use it to participate in the little contests and draws that other sites make to hype up their own popularity. Other than that, I use it like any other site: To check if anything interesting is going on, and to check up on events that my friends and I planned, such as going on a game on Friday night, etc. I feel that I might be missing some information that could prove to be useful to me.

Not much has changed these past days except for spending my time on more useful things like studying and doing homework but also more time for gaming and other recreational activities.

After two days living without Facebook, I almost forgot about it. Of course I still feel something is missing, but it happens less often. In the last few days I was actually able to finish my homework on time. I watched my favourite TV show and called my old friends.

Day three.

I didn’t have any homework again, so I spent a few hours on the computer after school doing the usual–checking email and watching videos. Facebook did not cross my mind once while surfing the net, but I think I’m more addicted to Youtube than FB. I also fit in a couple hours watching television. I didn’t have any extra time to do other things. Overall, everything’s normal. This week’s gonna be a breeze.

Well another day has arrived… Oh great… I can’t visit Facebook again. I’m soooo sad! No, seriously, it really hasnt bothered me that much. I’m not crawling on the floor begging for help and forgiveness while I hopefully guess how many missed messages I’ve piled up on my account. Well, it doesn’t really matter to me if the use of Facebook is reduced from our everyday lives; as a matter of fact, wouldn’t it be funny if it’s totally erased from our minds? After all, there are hundreds of other means of communication such as Twitter, MSN, Texting, etc… Oh well, it’s all good…

Cheers to another great day!

It’s a deserted war ground, but if you enter this range, you are bound to die.

The term “No Man’s Land” is pretty much what sums up how I feel about not having Facebook access at the moment. I’ve entered the ground and I am dying a slow death. I got multiple text notifications regarding new posts and I would be lying if I said I was not tempted.

I was at the movie theatre last night and watched “The Green Hornet.” As fun as it was, I was constantly bothered by the fact that I could not “sign in” on “places” to show that I was at Cineplex. If I really think about it, who really cares that I’m watching a movie?

I think throughout this campaign, I have taught myself that I do not need to be so dependent on Facebook to be a part of my daily routine. I’m beginning to think that I won’t access it as much after Friday. But don’t get me wrong, I still am very tempted and bothered.

I hope I make it alive to the enemy ground by tomorrow.

Uh, I’m not really feeling what the so called sturggle. I feel rather indifferent and simply lives on with the rest of my life. I don’t feel any particular changes, and I havn’t even thought aout Facebook at all. In fact, the only time I actually remember that I’m in this blog is when I come to this class and write about it. I suppose forgeting everything about facebook is a good idea for the purpose of this activity…

Best of luck to all?!

Easy. No Facebook means more time on homework and gaming. Good stuff, good stuff.

… absolutely nothing has happened to me.

Feelings and thoughts?

A feeling of apathy.

Thoughts of things unrelated.

Facebook has transformed itself from a diversion into the central hub around which we organize our social lives. There are half a billion people on earth on Facebook, which amounts to 1 in every 13 people alive; in the U.S., a whopping 72% of the internet-connected audience has a profile. But these numbers fail to capture the role that Facebook actually plays in many people’s lives. Among 18-34-year-olds, 48% check Facebook right when they wake up. Over New Year’s weekend, 750 million photos were uploaded. Every 20 minutes, 10 million comments are made, and 2.7 million messages are sent.

In other words, not only are we “Facebook obsessed,” but for a growing portion of the world, if an event or thought or relationship isn’t documented or shared somehow on Facebook, it’s like it never happened at all.
