The great
artist Gary Numan once pondered are friends electric?
Well
if
they are only on fb, if they are only electric signals via the computer,
typing, sentence after sentence making you feel good, while in fact you are
wasting your life away because you have never seen or spoken to them in person,
then
well... then friends they are not.
Even if
programs, like Catfish, try to bring the is that fb-profile really who he says
he is issue to our attention, and attempt to expose these false fb-profiles to
relieve broken hearts, it is still just considered as fun TV and only hits
home when it is almost too late. A facebook friend is only a friend if you know
him or her personally from real life. If you have had actual conversations!
Avoid the
whole catfish drama, and add friends in a responsible way. Never add someone to
your friend-list before talking to him or her in real life. And do not forget
friends of your friends arent necessary friends of yours, the same principle
as mentioned above is best applied.
Now go and
get a life ;) till the next time!
