Facebook (off topic)
contact (Wed, 16 Oct 2013 07:07:22 PDT)

Hello all,
I did not want to start an argument for or against Facebook. But so many
mails appear to make you believe that Facebook is really" innocent and
safe" but missing the real point. So many studies declare the contrary;
Facebook is a social phenomen in which we can get "caught up .
Personally I don't need it socially and for my business I can easily do
without it . One or two forums is enough for me and for the rest I rely on
direct personal contacts.
Just look at this Youtube; it explains more than I can say. Furtheron there
are so many social studies which explain how we want to be part of this
trend and how it never satifies what we are really looking for.
Kind greetings

'We are living in an isolation that would have been unimaginable to our
ancestors, and yet we have never been more accessible,' wrote Stephen
Marche.
The passive consumption of other people's lives over social media - their
idealized pictures of holidays, work, meals and family - seem to result in a
more negative perception of our own lives and social interactions.
Kross' study concludes, ' On the surface, Facebook provides an invaluable
resource for fulfilling the basic human need for social connection. Rather
than enhancing well-being, however, these findings suggest that Facebook may
undermine it.
