THE IRONY THAT IS SOCIAL NETWORKING AT A GLANCE...BY @BOBBYLIGHT4REAL



EVERYDAY WE ALL LOG ONTO OUR CHOICE OF SOCIAL NETWORK(S) TWITTER, FACEBOOK, ETC... THE COMMON MANTRA IS "IT'S ONLY FOR ENTERTAINMENT" OR "IT'S NOT REAL LIFE" YET DAILY WE ALL SEE PEOPLE EXHIBIT BEHAVIORS THAT SHOW IT'S MORE THAN JUST ENTERTAINMENT TO THEM AND IN MANY CASES THAT IT IN FACT IS REAL LIFE. I FIND IT HILARIOUS THAT PEOPLE TALK ABOUT THE PHONY, LIARS, FRONTERS AND THE LIKES BUT AT THE SAME TIME SAY THAT IT ISN'T "REAL LIFE" WHICH WOULD MORE OR LESS IN MY OPINION MAKE IT THE PERFECT ENVIRONMENT TO CREATE AND PROMOTE THESE FALSEHOODS AND FALLACIES THAT PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT DAILY OR AT LEAST LEAVE ONE TO THINK SO, RIGHT?? SO THE FACT THAT PEOPLE EXPECT PEOPLE TO "KEEP IT REAL" ON THESE SOCIAL NETWORKS WOULD IN FACT MEAN THAT IT IS REAL LIFE BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT YOU'RE ASKING PEOPLE TO PRESENT..."THE REAL".  THEN THERE IS THE GREAT OPINION DEBATE LOL EVERYONE IS OPINIONATED AND IT'S ALWAYS FINE AND GOOD UNTIL THEY DISAGREE WITH SOMEBODY ELSE'S OPINION...THEN THEY ARGUE AS IF IT'S FACTS VERSUS LIES, FORGETTING THAT THE KEY WORK IS "OPINION". EVERY ONE HAS THEIR OWN VIEWS AND OPINIONS ON ANY SUBJECT YOU COULD NAME SO THERE IS NO RIGHT OR WRONG PER SE IN THESE SITUATIONS BUT THEY'LL ARGUE YOU DOWN TO TELL YOU THAT YOU'RE "OPINION" IS WRONG....ANOTHER FAVORITE IS THE "I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYBODY THINKS" ATTITUDE, YET THAT SAME PERSON WHO SAYS THAT WILL GO ON A BLITZKREIG OF TWEETS FOR 1, 2 OR 3 HOURS EXPLAINING HOW THEY DON'T CARE BUT THE FACT THAT YOU TOOK THE TIME TO GO ON YOUR TIRADE SHOWS HOW MUCH THEY IN FACT DO CARE......THERE'S A NUMBER OF SCENARIOS AND EXAMPLES THAT COULD BE LISTED AND THIS BLOG COULD GO ON FOREVER BUT THOSE ARE JUST A FEW BRIEF POINTS THAT LEAD BACK TO THE TITLE OF THIS POST....THE IRONY THAT IS SOCIAL NETWORKING AT A GLANCE

  1. Jesus has to come out of heaven & tell me that Twitter, MySpace, Facebook & whatever other social networks that ppl use, are strictly for entertainment for the majority of folks.

    Behind these computers & phones are REAL ppl with real emotions, real preferences, real feelings etc etc....so one can only keep up a facade for so long. True colors always poke out between the seams.

    As you said, ppl are quick to say "I don't care what anyone thinks" but deep down we do in fact care how ppl view us. Are we funny? Are we charming? Are we pretty? Are we handsome? & on & on......It's all about validation is some shape of form.

    PPL make real friends, lovers, BFs/GFs off these social networks & everyone at the end of the day is trying to be perceived in some "good" light (except of course those who hide behind other ppl's pics or random pics inanimate objects)

    I can't speak for anyone else but myself. My Twitter/FB represents ME. It's not just for entertainment. It is REAL life I do care what ppl think & It's my online presence. When you can't find/see TIA in person, I'll be online, being ME!
