There was a lot of truth put into this short little skit. Social Networks temporarily take over the world. The way Xanga dominated 7 years ago, followed my the ever-so-popular Myspace 5 or 6 years ago, and currently Facebook. It seems like everyone wants to be the next big tool to interact with people technologically. They all seem to start well, but eventually become too overrun, too complicated, or too unorganized in an attempt to continue to put out new things or add on. Myspace became a place for "skanky pictures of skanky people doing skanky things" in addition to the reckless amounts of pointless bulletins, Myspace hit a wall. However, Facebook seems to be doing much better. There are people who claim addiction, and in some cases it seems true. I like this video's ending because it shows the ease at which you can release yourself from the virtual world. Simply logging off will take away all the distractions, all the things popping up, and all the people that are virtually your friends. The video suggests moving to the real world once again, and I think there is a need for this. Hooray for facebook, its a great tool. But some people never log off. Sometimes, there are better things you can do with your life.
Like prepare for the next Nathan's Famous July Fourth International Hot Dog Eating Contest!
