I meant to post this yesterday but laziness and procrastination got the best of me. We're still friends right?
Anyway, this post is about the drug of choice to most people that sit around the office chair and have their eyes glued to the monitor. Why do I call it a drug you might ask? Well, it's how most people like to kill time on the internet like looking at cat websites and going "LOL" and moving on to the other picture. After a while of mindless surfing, that person might stumble on to a website and stick with it. That person will then get addicted. Once addicted, the addict will tell other friends about it.
I hope that it made sense. If not, think of it this way. Some people consider it a drug because they are addicted to it. The side affects would be wasting way too much time online. You might not think it's wasting time if you are addicted though. The only thing an addiction on the internet cures is boredom.
Sure,I might not enjoy facebook as much as my friends because I live in a different location (the other side of the country).The only thing I do there is pretty much chat with friends and I might check on my pet once in a while. I guess I probably don't see the fun because I am only able to chat at the very least at 6:30 here. Why? Because I live in Toronto and most of the friends I chat with live in Prince George. That is a three hour time difference. When my friends get home I am already eating dinner.
I think that the fact that someone thinks facebook is addicting is just ridiculous. No one is ever going to approach you on the street and go,"Hey man! You uhh.... got a group invite? How strong is it? You better not be a cop."
If you think facebook is addicting, it's not. Chances are, your life probably sucks. Facebook is somewhat a fad that will come and go. It's popular, and then starts to slowly decline. Facebook will soon be like Myspace. It was very popular and now no one really cares about or uses Myspace anymore.
Topic related fact!:There are over 400 million active users! (People who have returned to the site in the last 30 days) Addicted much?
