Facebook

I don't know anyone (no wait I do, but only one) who doesn't have an FB account.You may think it's the 'in' thing for youth today but even mothers and grandmothers are getting into the FB world!It's a great idea-keeping everyone connected, getting in touch with lost friends and relatives, being updated on people's lives etc.You can post pictures, play games, chat, name it-FB has it. It's become like the ultimate 'all in one' application package. I must admit, it does start out as innocent fun but ask yourself-what site do you open first(gmail and Ymail not included)?What site stays on your browser come what may?What site do you log into when you get home(after work)?And what site is the last one you close when you finally decide to go Offline?Yep FB FB FB FB on all counts!So what?Well, its useful yes but I'm starting to think and have drawn the conclusion that whether we realize it or not, it's a very time consuming and distracting habit.Yes, it's fun, really fun but sometimes we have to learn to 'work first and play later'.Coming to think of it, why else would FB be blocked in many company's?There's a time for everything.

That brings me to my next 'case study' on the subject.I theorize that FB is actually addictive.This is one addiction that has no rehab and in my opinion will be one very hard to quit.How to diagnose yourself? Try not logging in to your FB account for a week.(I'm diagnosing myself right now) and if you can do it 'no sweat', fingers not itching to type 'facebook.com' on the browser,mind not filled with thoughts on what are the latest updates and who might have inboxed you, then CONGRATULATIONS!But if not?well, time for some self therapy I guess.Remember "too much of anything is bad".Anyway that being said, back to my Facebook abstinence.
