Bruno Lucas, a computers & technology blogger described face book as “an escape from real life”.
Lucas: “where people socialize without real fights, where it’s all fine and dandy”
Lucas: “You look at your profile, and your friends profile, and it all seems so simple, with the “all you need to know” information, and this is what you end up reducing people to… a simple profile on your screen”.
Lucas: “People who use facebook in general use it to play games, post thoughts, post pictures, comment on each other, and this is not all bad. Except when a parent takes more time online farming than talking to his son or daughter. Except when a boy or a girl prefer to talk things over through the facebook chat than talking face to face”.
Lucas: “You end up most of the times with your life scattered through photo directories of other peoples profiles. Being tagged and bagged like an object”.
Lucas: “If used properly, there are many good things that can be done with Facebook. The problem is… human kind is never satisfied and is just too damn curious. So… they always end up going further than they should… and always paying the price.”
Is Bruno Lucas exaggerating the negative effects of face book or is this something that should be seriously discussed?
Does Face Book negatively effect healthy social skills, home life and proper self-respect or is Bruno Lucas over reacting?
