Electronic battles that overcome the bent, rude comments and threats - Good ways and the Internet are rather inconsistent terms
Whenever he saw a post by "the other" he entered to comment. That is, to disagree and express in a (abrupt) way her dislike for it face of the much-hated "opponent". The other (the opponent) responded with even greater insolence. And the fight was raging. Otherwise, they were friends. Online. Inside Facebook This - and this, among thousands of others - flourished brotherly friendship. With some "likes" for nailing - when e.g. one was uploading a painless photo of her grandmother's birthday and the other her gardenia, which after months of effort opened a stubborn flower - and with tones of disrespect and "dislike" between two people where it was obvious: off the Internet they could not stand one another not even for five minutes. It was, however, the protective (thought) mantle of the Internet that allowed them to maintain their dramatic relationship. A relationship that simply did not exist. And that ended (the expired one) forever when the "other" "reported" Anna, accusing her of uploading "obscene material", with the result that my friend's account was blocked for a few days and she, addicted to social media , risk of a nervous breakdown.
The post in question was about a photo of her in a swimsuit from Styra Evia. "Is this conservative swimsuit obscene?" the... reported asked angrily and immediately put forward a plan of revenge: she had a friend of hers become an online friend of the anonymous person and then, when the anonymous person uploaded a photo of herself in a (full-body) swimsuit, report her in turn for "obscene material ». “This is just the beginning! I'm going to screw her up so much that she'll be forced to disappear from Facebook," announced my friend eye which was shining.
I remembered when I was child and the neighborhoods of Athens had single-family houses and were still neighborhoods, in the sense that we find in the old movies (e.g. "And the woman is afraid of the man"), some indescribable hair-pulling between otherwise beloved neighbors because one threw the washing machine in front of the other's door. I see these washing waters being poured into the Facebook. In the form of horrible comments and supposedly civilized debates that end up in war. The new "society" in which we all come to communicate, citizens of a world without borders, is largely a society of inconsistency, depreciation, even verbal violence.
Natassa Bofiliou, who for half of them cried well during her concert, while for the other half she is not entitled not only to cry, but not even to sing, the excavation of the tomb in Amphipolis that can hide from the eyes of the Great Alexandrou to the Flintstones, Alexis Tsipras and his speech in Thessaloniki are just some of the themethose of the last few days which gave us the opportunity to relieve the tensions of our irritated nerves.
Next to it, pictures of kittens, dogs and horses accompanied by comments like "anyone who uploads a puppy to my wall again will eat folas. Not the puppy, myself”; protests from those who “like” everyone when others don’t even like their own posts (now what to “like” a photo of a child who lost his legs of when a gallery collapsed in the mine where he was working uninsured...); warnings to "those who came in here to jump. Just because I uploaded two pictures of myself doesn't mean I'm as easy as some nitwits think. I give you m...es!".
Somehow, online chat turns into the vindication of a society that has not learned the rudiments of communication, that cannot hold its temper, that is incapable of polite conversation. Otherwise, social media brings us closer together. So close, we're in danger of poking each other's eye out. There is, of course, the theory which says that technology is actually alienating us. Maybe it is so. However, I find that, as much as it alienates us, we do not lose our appetite for hair removal even remotely. How else to say it? Dislike in our faces!

Some_Random_Guy if it weren't for facebook, maybe it was some other social network. Once we have lost face-to-face contact as human beings and the need for communication does not stop, it is difficult to see social media declining. The issue that arises lately is that there has already been a demystification that is not expressed by abstention but by fewer posts (I can not substantiate it with evidence, that I observe from friends and acquaintances).
I'm with you, but I think the issue is us and not facebook
iGuru_gr I totally agree with what you say.
If it weren't for Facebook it would be
Google+ or Myspace or Hi5 or any other "social network".
But, an important (in my opinion) reason we lost her
Interpersonal contact is the "social networks" led by Facebook.
I do not want to sound like an "old-fashioned" but the pro-facebook era was
better. There was and "played high" MySpace and watching them all
acquaintances / friends to use it to find "chick" I understood
as soon as this situation goes, of course I could not imagine then
the extent to which the social media phenomenon would take over and
I thought it was something temporary that over time will
pass. Unfortunately I was wrong.
As for what the posts are
less than before I have noticed it and it is something that with me
rejoices, but is very, very far from the solution. The man must
to learn that the real relationship with someone you create from
close
and not from facebook or anywhere else social network. And I say it again
that I am a person who loves and adores technology and prefers to
order skewers online rather than pick up the phone, others have to
enter some limits. "Perfect in every way" said the ancient Greeks and
they were very right.
And no it's not facebook but we are
we who brought and bring humanity here where they are, the
facebook, however, helps and promotes this kind of alienation.
And
for those who are wondering I am 24 and I try as hard as I can
the logic in the head of my peers to remove as much
can use Facebook.
I have said it and I will say it again, fire in the offices and data centers of Facebook and death to Zuckerberg.
The
above do not come from a person unrelated to technology,
I love her, I adore her and she is a key part of both my work and
and my personal fun.
But I hate it
facebook and all that he has brought, I am not saying that our facebook has changed
as characters, but allows some (most) to
show what things are and let the "animal" inside them
vacations freely on facebook pages believing that behind
the screen and keyboard are secure and that everything is allowed.
I have never had, nor am I going to have, a facebook account though
that friend, ex and now tried to put me in the "game".
I wish
(and I hope) that facebook will fall slowly, especially at ages
between 20-35, where statistically, there is already a good decline in population.
Whatever
person is reading this comment, please think again about more
has facebook reason and if it is really necessary in his / her life. The
excuses "I found old classmates and I want to keep in touch" or "I have friends who live in another city / country and I want to keep in touch" do not apply, there is Skype (or any IM you like) that does this job much better than facebook. The excuse of "I am looking for a relationship and facebook allows me to learn more about someone"
is even worse, we did not get where we are today because it existed
facebook or any "social network" but because we also got
we take the risk of meeting a stranger up close, directly, without spying on his / her facebook.
I have said it and I will say it again, fire in the offices and data centers of Facebook and death to Zuckerberg.
