Week 5 Lab Connected + Disconnected

I feel like nothing ever comes from online social behaviour... it is disconnected from your so-called real life... The reason why I wanted to delete my facebook was because the people who I talk to in real life, I don't talk to on facebook, and the people who I have on facebook are people who I don't see or wouldn't even want to socialize with in real life, so I thought it was pointless to have a facebook account.. and I feel like people aren't being truthful online, like you are being something you aren't actually. And for me its simply a procrastionation tool, a whole lot of talk with no action, just filling up time, which is pointless when you could actually be doing something with your life. What has creeping people who you've never met really done for you? Nothing. Except finding out their birthdays or their conversations with their ex-boyfriends. I don't interact with these people on a daily basis and I will probably never meet them, and with acquaintances from the past I will probably never see them again. Its all very fake and pointless to me. The only part of facebook I like is being able to share things I find online like websites or blogs or music or videos or anything like that, and being able to post it to my wall or send them a facebook message telling them to check it out. Its a way of communicating with someone who may not be sitting beside you or who you might not be able to communicate with in real life at that specific time, so messaging someone online could be easier.
