It was this recent talk with a cousin i gotto know bout the deadly disorder called F.A.D. and i was even more shocked to realize that i had all the symptoms of having contracted it. But as people would say when all is not well with a lot of other people, we tend to relax and bask in the company of those with us. And this is a disorder that thousands of people all over the world are experencing.
The disorder i am talking about is "Facebook ADDICTION Disorder". :P
Even though the thought behind it is fictional and is done for the humour i was so disappointed to notice that how facebook has changed the pattern of relationships in the recent past. For that matter why just blame facebook, there are a whole lot of networking sites available for people to get addicted to, just that FB is a popular one.
For me, at first it was fun Poking friends and friends poking back to u, and scribbling on walls and uploading photos, but then as time went on, it replaced the mode of communication, the real time calling was a thing of the past and i enjoyed chatting online and scribbling on walls. but all this does turn boring one or the other day and that day i was left with neither of the two modes... Was bored of FB and lost touch of many people. This i realised when one of my very close confidant was no longer comfortable talking real time.
By this post i don't say that social networking is an evil, but just that too much use of it shouldn't bring a lifestyle change in people.
P.S:
Symptoms include:
1. logging in and logging out every 5 mins
2. FB becoming the sole pass time.
3. updating status and waiting for comments and likes.
4. checking for notifications every 2 mins
U experience any of this, then beware! You are on the verge of being one among the many thousands who land up having this disorder
