Life events

If you didn't believe Facebook dominated our social lives before, you better believe it now. With the introduction of the timeline, Facebook (as far as I'm concerned) IS our life now. We have our friends, pictures, family members, work, education, cover picture, places visited, what you did on this day in this month four years ago, and our "life events." As in, sicknesses we overcame, when we got glasses/contacts, when we learned a new language, bought a new car, got a new pet...where does Facebook get off on insisting we tell everyone everything? People don't need to know how many pets I've had - that is not something people usually dish out to the public.

Would it bother you if you didn't know any of this about me? Me neither.

It's unsettling to think that so many people want the world to know this much about them. If everyone knows everything about us, then nothing becomes special. No one becomes special. At least not in the eyes viewing a computer screen. The people who you want to share your life with should not be all x-hundred friends you have on Facebook.
