I do like playing Video games. But I'm not a total game buyer to buy every game out there. I like to get games that have good game play and good story. I don't buy what everyone is buying, i.e.- Grand Theft Auto. I just buy games like Dues ex, starcraft, and Mario Wii games.

It keeps people from having the same deep, emotionally satisfying relationships that people could have if they met people in the real world, as it was meant to be. Social media has become something about quantity, rather than quality. I sometimes wonder how many people have walled themselves away from the world, netted several hundred online friends, but then has no real friends, in the real world, to speak of. We're trying to satisfy our social needs through a screen, and it's failing miserably.

That's the sol reason I'm agenst Facebook.
