Facebook Crazy

I'm not sure how many agree, but I somehow feel that people today have become so obsessed with they want the world to perceive them that they've forgotten the fun in living in the moment and having it frozen as a memory to cherish. Rather they would have it as a photo to upload on their facebook page, or maybe google+ I don't really know what's more popular these days. But i know this for sure, life isn't about making special memories anymore, its about letting the world know! It should look as if you're having a great time, that you are surrounded with people, lovers, friends, family everyone and of course having the time of your life.

I really dont understand this need, why must your life seem perfect to those who don't matter, because those who matter are there with you in the  moment which you fail to enjoy to the fullest as you are too busy striking the perfect pose for your latest display pic. I think I've grown sick of this whole thing way too soon, come to think of it I wasn't that hooked on to it anyway. I have now turned more into a social stalker, to know what's going on in peoples lives, you know.. the kind of stuff gossip sessions used to be for :) .. now we very readily provide gossip material and now we dont seem to mind it. Gone are the days when mere acquaintances talking about you and knowing your regular haunts used to creep one out.

Its not that its all bad, I can recall so many instances where I was able to locate a childhood friend whom I had lost touch within a matter of seconds, separate instances where I was able to recongnize old schoolmates (rather them recognizing me :P I have perfect memory when it comes to faces, names is a different ball game however :D ) but I don't I dont like the idea of putting so much information out there.

Not that I'm paranoid or anything, its just that i skim through peoples lives randomly for no particular reason, there could some people who could be doing the same on my profile too, and not everyone is as harmless as I am :D.

Bottomline, in today's age of smartphones where the instant glorification of your great excursions is a swipe away, you've got to be careful what you send out there. You never know whose hands it might fall into....
