Facebook is bad....Discuss

So after the last couple of days and the increase of 400% in my blog's views I have decided one thing. 


Challenging thoughts are the way to go!


Anyway, so my observation from yesterday is one of curiosity. I was at a boxercise class (I know, me exercise, where did that come from?) and basically you do it in pairs. Well you can do it on your own but it's more difficult and less practical. So, I was on my own, and there was another person there, and I basically said, look, I'm on my own, so are you, lets not make this any more difficult. 


Well, the value of going round with someone was great and helped in the class, but that's not my point. My point is this, and you can agree or disagree with me.


We have lost the value of face to face conversation. Now I am not saying social networking is wrong and it has no value, but focussing on a relationship level of communication and discussion. Social networking has destroyed the value of face to face or even a phone call. The concept of feeling more comfortable in your own home, behind a screen and either, building up a friendship, arguing, discussing or even trying to get hitched is in my opinion ruining the basic idea of human emotion and discussion that we are made to have through communicating


The person yesterday at my class on the way round the various exercises was intrigued as to how I had just walked up to them and struck up a conversation and that it was refreshing to see someone not care what other people think and just open up a dialogue.


So there you go....I would welcome your opinions because I do believe that this big generation from older children all the way up to pensioners of discussing every aspect on our lives on a screen is destroying part of what God had designed for us. He didn't create us in our image to look at a 15 inch LCD HD screen.....


P.S - Before you comment saying that I am using the internet and social networking to post this and write this. The idea of my blog is to share my daily reflections of life, faith, work and deed with whoever may choose to read whether i have 0 hits or 10,000 hits. I will still post my blog.
