Spacebook

After a long Saturday of writing poetry and quoting famous greek philosophers I stumble into my room with bloodshot eyes (Clearly from lack of sleep) and immediately open my computer and log onto Facebook and Twitter. I scroll down my feeds gazing at everyone's pictures, posts, and opinions on the days events, of course liking and retweeting along the way. What exactly am I gaining from doing this? Am I really that obsessed with other people's lives that I have to log on everyday, twice a day? It's crazy how our generation lives majority of their lives through the web. some say this is the worst thing that could ever happen, others may argue that it makes the anti social well, more social. When It comes to superficiality however, the clear answer is absolutely yes, but is there a catch?

I'm so superFICIAL all I need is a Whistle

Superficial by definition means "On the surface" so basically worrying about whats on the outside of you and other people. Do these social media sites makes us that way? Or do they just make us that way while we are on those sites? Absolutely not! you go on these sites and like someones picture and say how pretty they are, then the next day your at war with them because of something she said behind your back. I feel people (Including Myself) use these social media sites as a shield. There certainly is nothing wrong with that, because for some people that is all they have known, and unfortunately that is a big problem for our generation.
