I hate Facebook. There. I said it. And it feels good. Yes, I am a citizen of Facebook. I was lured there by a friend and eternal student with promises of mega-business-networking benefits, to reconnect with past friends and I must also confess to periodically using the site for shameless self-promotion to my vast empire of 663 friends. But as of late I have been wishing I was Amish living a life of solitude free of all things tech. Oh how great it would be to shut it all off. But most importantly shut off the time suck and annoyance of Facebook. No matter how many times I receive an invitation to hug, I will not return the favor.
In my opinion when it comes to Facebook, there’s no way of taking yourself off of it and there’s no way to take it off yourself. The information which it spews at you is kind of USELESS and it’s Creepy. So when I ran into this video by JULIAN SMITH it really reinforced how I felt about the social network.
