Facebook Suicide

In my own personal point of view, I feel as if those who are facebook members make facebook as important or non important as they want it to be. It may induce self-obsession, yet some, at least I do, create and continue using facebook to reconnect, or simply connect on a daily basis with old and new friends. I feel as if this article has replaced any type of pros towards facebook to only introduce some of the cons when in reality we, facebook members, how we use facebook on a day to day basis whether it is for a few minutes or for long periods of time.

Some things which I would lose if i would commit "facebook suicide" is all my elementary friends whom I had lost contact with since sixth grade. Thanks to facebook I was able to re-find them and reconnect with them. I would lose connection with family whom I only get to see every few years since they live in Guatemala which is by far impossible to speak with all the time as I do on facebook. Although i may lose connects I do feel as if I'd gain some new sort of knowledge by separating myself from any type of social networking. I would maybe gain a sense of nature and a better exercise habit which doesn't include sitting on a chair or laying in bed while searching through facebook. All in all, there may be loses and new wins, but all one has to do is find a balance between the two.
