Admit it you were starting to sing the song, Let's talk about sex baby..... Too bad that's not what I'm going to be talking about.
Social Media, aka the Internet, aka no freaking privacy LOL. I love the internet, I love going on Facebook, I used to love Myspace but that's over now. What's not to love about the internet, the ease of looking up info from something for a school project to booking a holiday, all from the comfort of your own home. You can chat to someone on the other side of the world, you can play games, you can share your life with the world. You can blog LOL. But it never ceases to amaze me how many people forget that if you post it on the internet it's out there forever. It can't be taken back, it can't be deleted, it will be there until the world ends, somewhere, hiding, lurking, just waiting to come back out some day and get you, BOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
I go on Facebook to catch up with friends and play games, what I don't go on there for but what is shoved in my face everyday is drama. Don't get me wrong the drama from other peoples lives is hilarious, especially when I know the people. But come on, surely you realise that everyone you are friends with and some you aren't can read your shit. Do you seriously want everyone to know your business. How well do you actually know the people on your friends list? Are you sure they are who they say they are? Logic dictates that if you can't see the person in the flesh and if you don't know them personally then they could be anyone. We read about the pedophiles in the papers who hook up through the internet with young boys and girls, how do you know that that's not who your talking to? How do you know everything is what it seems? The fact is, you don't.
Of course there is security measures you can take, but remember everyday there is someone out there who is sitting in front of their pc hacking. As soon as a new security measure is up, someone is working to bring it down. I don't know why, maybe they like the challenge, fine you want the challenge that's all good, but what you don't need to do is then post your hack online so that every sick bastard out there learns it and uses it.
This isn't confined to the internet, the media blasts us everyday with stories about celebrities doing this or that, then a month later it's all different; Same pictures but a completely different storyline. We sit there and read it all, and believe it, yet again. We must be the most gullible creatures on the planet LOL. The thing is that now with the internet we can all read about it sooner, no sooner does some celebrity slip over in a puddle of snow than the news is out about their drinking and drugs problems. OMG is that a baby belly, no she's just been out for a big meal and enjoyed it, or maybe she just doesn't care that she has a little bit of a belly. I know I sure don't, but mines not little LOL.
I also have a blast when someone attacks someone on line, ooooo scary shit man LOL. It's pretty funny when it all seems sweet till someone starts swearing or calling names. It's almost like a competition to see who can last the longest without letting loose. And there's nothing that gets on the attackers nerves more than a nice calm approach LOL. Usually leads to a total breakdown, and that is just too funny. But then it's out there can't be taken back, seen and read, in some cases copied and saved to be used later. Just remember that whatever you say or do online is out there in the ether for all to see.
