An edit of your life.

Most of us use Facebook the social networking site...

We use social networking sites: maybe to keep with the trend, stay in contact with family or friends who perhaps live far away, but we also, more commonly use Facebook to talk to friends which are in actual fact on the other side of the phone in seconds, or maybe just around the corner. Facebook - or social networking sites in general, are in a way quite controversial in the way in which, just about any one around the world can find you with a click of a button, and some may argue people becoming obsessed and broadcasting their personal lives with excessive detail.

I am not here to discuss the controversial 'debates' over Facebook, but I am in fact writing to discuss how it edits your life and how you are viewed. On Facebook we can choose, accept, decline, ignore, decide later our friends, we can add, delete, un-tag photos in which we may or may not want, we can post, comment and give opinions about anything. In reality we can't just chose to ignore friends there are many problems and issues like the constant arguments and misunderstandings, we can't always rip up the photographs as they have a sentimental, reminding factor about them, and in this modern world we can't always have our freedom of speech and voicing our own opinions, as there is always someone who disagrees and then causes a controversy.

Most of us do use Facebook as a way of contact, and perhaps viewing ourself in a different light: over the internet we can't verbally hear the person, and photographs do not reflect a person fully. I suppose looking at people on Facebook goes with the phrase 'don't judge a book by its cover' as we may come along someone on Facebook and prejudge them without knowing them - therefore ignoring them due to their looks etc...
