Facebook

Amazingly, I thought of Facebook on the 7am bus ride to school. Yes, 7am, and yes, I was not able to fall asleep cause I did not get to sit my favourite seat. I am quite inactive in Facebook, because I think its quite a disturbing place. Some many things to do with so many friends. Suddenly, I realise that it is a reflection of real life. I am as lazy in Facebook as I am in real life, but that's not all. Peer pressure, the feeling that I should reply to this action, join this group, do this thing, be at this 'Event' because people ask me to. Obligations, the need to be felt including, yet the need for personal space. People use to travel days to reach another person in another city. Then, it came snail mail, telephones, mobile phones, Internet, so on so forth. Ignore those that I miss, but you should get the idea. People are 'invading' my lives even on the cyberspace. Rejection is easy, although acceptance is not that much difficult. The latter seems to be the choice to feel included, to do the things friends do, but it takes up so much time. The former seems to be my preferred choice, but its seems that I am trying to be a cyber-loner on Facebook, if there is such a word at all.


Need to study Game theory. So fun, I really love that module, have to thank Ling to tell me to go for it. Hope for its 4K mod! Pray!
