the great teacher inspires." William Arthur Ward

Facebook

Do you feel like having some fun? Being so, watch the following video, but first answer these questions.

  1. Do you have an account in Facebook?
If you do have one:

  1. How often do you log in?
  2. Do you need to visit it everyday?
  3. How addictive do you think it is?
  4. What kind of information do you publish?
If you don't:

  1. Is there a particular reason why you haven't opened one?
For everybody:

  1. How dangerous do you think it is?
  2. Why do people like uploading personal photos and information to these kind of sites?
What's this ironic song trying to tell us?
    NOW, WATCH IT:



    If you feel like singing along, here's the lyrics:


    I wouldn’t call myself a social butterfly
    and there’s not much that separates me from the other guy
    but when I login I begin to live

    There’s an online world where I am king
    of a little website dedicated to me
    with pictures of me and a list of my friends
    and an unofficial record of the groups that I’m in.

    Before the internet friendship was so tough
    you actually had to be in peoples presence and stuff
    who would’ve thought that with a point and a click
    I could know that Hope Floats is your favorite flick (harry connick jr. ?)

    Facebook (Facebook)
    I’m Hooked on Facebook
    I used to meet girls hanging out at the mall, now I just wait for them to write on my wall.
    (its more than a want, its more than a need; I’d schrivel up and die without my minifeed)
    Take a look. (You’re Hooked) on facebook.

    oh Link's status changed. it says hes playing the recorder....

    how do you know this person?
    did you hook up with this person?
    do you need to request confirmation?
    or did you just think they looked cute..from their picture on facebook?

    if the internet crashed all across the land
    or my facebook account was deleted by the man
    I’d carry around a picture of my face
    and a summary of me typed out on a page

      To miss this one ___________
      This perfect moment
      Just let me fall
