I do not know how to start. There are too many things inside my head that I want to write here.
Well, one year ago I joined a social networking. At the first time, it is okay. But as the time goes by, everything is changed. My world is changed. I spend my time in front of my laptop (online) much more than I use it to read the books.
What did I get from joining that? Find my old friends? Yes. Keep in touch with new friends? Sure. Get new information quickly? Exactly yes. Addicted? Yes. Wasting time? Yes. No privacy? Yes. Yeah, all of them are true, at least for me.
Look, somebody updates her status, she said, “I’ve just bought a new t-shirt”. What does she want with telling this to everyone? Somebody else upload many photos of himself. I do not want to see it. Really! But you know what? I did what they did. I update my unimportant status. I upload my unimportant pictures. Now I feel ridiculous.
Another case, when unknown people ask me to make friends, it is like a dilemma. If I refuse them, they will judge me as an arrogant. But if I accept them, I do not even know who they are. They will ask me many questions that actually the answer is already in my profile. It is very annoying me.
I do not want to open my social networking, but still, I open it. It is like I am being controlled by that. I know it is stupid. I know it is ridiculous. Now I am thinking to deactivate my account until I get strength to control myself. I really really tired with all of these. I need some rest.
I don’t blame the social networking. I don’t blame anyone. I blame myself. But I do not want you blame yourself like me. So use the social networking wisely.
Last, I want to write a letter by this hand. I want to send a letter by post. I want to meet people, not in a laptop screen.
