A reaction to From relationships to revolutions: seven ways Facebook has changed the world
This will be more of a comment than a blogpost but here we go.
I started using facebook around 2013 and stopped around the same year. I do look back now and then though, but those moments are so few and far between I can count them on my fingers.
The article did not really make me react much, since I do not really care for facebook which can be concluded from the paragraph above. Facebook is just yet another social medium to provide and exchange personal information, opinions, news and get in contact with other people who use the same social medium. But facebook is the first proper social medium to make it big and make everyone and their mothers know about it, while every earlier social media that was like facebook is gone or dying out since they did not become popular enough. If one of those earlier social medias had been the ones to become as popular as facebook, that one would probably be the one to revolutionize the world and change terminology, organize revolutions and the like just like facebook do now, but here we are.
Hi Marcus!
SvaraRaderaVery interesting and strong of you to resist the temptation of using facebook frequently. I have tried several times to resist facebook constantly but always ended up going back. If you ask me it´s a very ugly trick by the administration to not allow you to delete your accont entirely, all you can do is deactivate it. That was the case a couple of years ago, maybe it has changed? Anyway, well done!
I would love to ditch Facebook as you have done! The problem is that I am part of a community that only announces their events on Facebook. If I want to get invitations I need to have a Facebook account. Sad but true...
