SAYING “NO” TO FACEBOOK CAN BE GOOD TO YOUR HEALTH…
SOMETIMES.
First things first, pardon me for branding Facebook on the
term “social networking.” I just found the term appealing and relevant to it.
Anyway, Facebook has become more popular to the Filipinos
since its emergence by 2009. In fact, we are the “social networking capital of
the world” ever since the glory days of the social networking pioneer
Friendster. And it shows, from the young kicks wanting to meet different people
from all sectors of the society; to even kids that are as young as 10 years old
(or even younger) will just cheat their age for the sake of securing an e-mail
address and sign their own account. Indeed, in the near future, many people
would have a philosophy that an online social networking account may be one of
a man’s primary requirements and rights. (but come on, “are you serious?”)
Now why are we entitled to such? Well, blame it to our
traditions. We are naturally friendly, hospitable at times. We like to make
friends and better networks or connections with people.
But what’s wrong on being a sociable person? Honestly, I don’t
think there is anything wrong with that, unless if it’s already too much. Liked
you’re friends are taking advantage of your kindness for too much, you’ve
picked the wrong guy to deal with, or other certain circumstances between
parties.
Now I’m not surprised why people who still doesn’t have a
Facebook account did not even bother nor consider of having one. But it could
be even more surprising if you met an internet savvy for at least once in their
lives.
As I observed the people from all the random sectors of the
Facebook world, there are things that can be considered why made such choice of
being private.
