Response to "Facebook: Why I Hate It..."

I think that overall, I agree with the author of this essay. I am also not that big a fan of Facebook or MySpace. I have one of each, but I rarely check them. I’m just not that interested in it anymore. I always have more important things to do than update my profile or peruse my friends’ profiles. I think it is sad how addicted our society has become to these technological forms of entertainment. I have heard of someone who is constantly on these websites being called a “MySpace whore” or a “Facebook slut”. It means that they spend a ridiculous amount of time doing nothing on these sites. For me, however, my time is too precious to waste it on a website. I keep my profiles in order to stay in touch with long lost friends. I will admit that these websites are fabulous for finding and contacting people you once knew. I have reacquainted myself with tons of people that I hadn’t spoken to since elementary school. In that way, I like Facebook and MySpace. For anything else it does, I am not interested.
