King Facebook

We all know that facebook has been such a sensation in the past couple of years, I never thought that social network could ever beat “the” Myspace but it did, facebook has been the most successful social network.
But it makes me think, where’s the trick? Of course we are all hooked up on it, it’s easy, quick & fun, why not be hooked up?

And here comes the catch…

I read a story by By Daniel Abrahamson

“A computer database which cataloged your entire social network: the email, home address, and sensitive details of all your friends, and consequently, all of their friends in a massive interlinked web. What if this service also archived all of your personal preferences on everything from books to movies to music? And if it also categorized your political views, club associations, previous jobs, educational background, and who you are dating?

Here’s the place to ask “Well, why not?”.
Facebook - your whole live in a database
Well, because it is well known that that the security level for this program is quite poor, and pretty much everyone, even the government could easily tap into peoples accounts and take their information on themselves, and on all of their friends.

The other bad thing about it, or even the worse thing is that people are loosing the real-life communication. The thing that no social network could provide is a feeling.No pictures or written words can make you feel the real person.
Facebook addiciton
Social networks are killing the excitement of the communication, and we shouldn’t forget what real life really is.
