Do we really need Facebook
« on: June 21, 2015, 05:38:37 PM »
Seriously folks can we live without facebook?

I needed to come out of it just for a short while, but get text messages asking if I have blocked the person and also 'Can you ring me please' texts wanting to know where I am as I can't be found on facebook.

Are we addicted to it?

I found it eaier to give up smoking.  Can't put my finger on why it's addictive though.

I'm not entirely sure, i just think..'it's time to give up' and i do.

A few years back i gave up smoking, drinking and went on a diet.  Didn't have a drink for 2 years, lost 3 stone in 3 months and didn't smoke for 5 years.  If only i could stop drinking now!

Without Facebook, we would still have forums to socially interact, just like we did before.
Facebook groups are good at getting large numbers of people with a single interest together tough.
I dare say I could live without it. I'd certainley never pay for it that is for sure (y)

Get a different angle on what's happening politically to counter what we are fed from the mostly right wing media
