Just the other day someone was telling me how easy it is to find things about your friends, boyfriend and any other person you might be interested in.
No more hiring of detectives to find out if his cheating, or grape-vine gossiping to let everyone know your frenemy is scandalous. Just post it on FACEBOOK! Friendships have been ruined, relationships destroyed through the social media tool.
You want to see what your ex has been up to? Or what his new girlfriend looks like? Go online..... Its easy, informative and nobody will even know you're doing it. The only problem is that we spend so much time on Facebook doing more harm than good. Yes, we have a chance to get in touch with old friends, but there's a bad and ugly side to those who are regular Facebookers.
I've done it myself i'm ashamed to say. Searched through someone's profile to find out what i needed to know instead of just asking the person. I felt guilty, and even though i still look at profiles sometimes without good intentions, i've learnt to take everything on Facebook with a pinch of salt.
Its a virtual world where things can me misconstrued and where insignificant things can be blown out of proportion. Next time you find yourself frantically searching through profiles to see what someone is up to, pick up your phone and ask them. Its that EASY.
Yesterday we had a discussion relating to the benefits and pitfalls of Facebook. The world of social media holds no privacy. It is indeed very scary and one can only wonder as to the full extent and magnitude of the World of Facebook.
ReplyDeleteFacebook has pushed break ups through the roof, but I think it is a good thing. Rather know that your better half is cheating than marry the scum and find out after two kids
