social media revolution

watching this video pretty much just disturbed me. i never imagined that social networking and websites like facebook, twitter, formspring, and myspace would take off the way it has taken off. it's kind of messed up that panama, ireland and norway's populations were less than ellen degeneres and ashton kutchers tweets. some people obviously don't have that great of lives if instead of going off and doing something, they would rather spend unneeded time on their phone tweeting to their millions of fans who would be just fine if they didn't tweet so much, coincidently. with the upsurge of this media network, we as humans are starting to become lazy. our thought process is "why go do something, i have my computer right here" and that's just sad and embarrassing. in the video it said if facebook was a country it would be third on the list of largest countries based on population. sure, the creators are really happy because their rolling in dough, but what about the rest of us. would we rather sit at home facebook chatting our best friends or would we rather be with them? i would definitely rather be with someone than chatting them from my couch. it gives us something to do, but nobody seems to care about doing things. people only care about the internet and media, and eventually america and other countries around the world are always going to be on the internet, watching tv, or tweeting, instead of spending time with people. we'll be living our lives virtually, and that's what i'm afraid of.
