[Davita]

I am surprised that, so far, no-one has commented on the article on the front page of yesterday's (Sunday) 'Jakarta Post' regarding Facebook.

Whilst recognising that it is a journalist's article and therefore "his opinion", I must confess, I agree with his findings.
B113j915 and myself seem to be the only contributors here who have not joined this "group". Anybody else like to join "our cult"?

My wife, a recent addict to Facebook, has already seen the signs of danger. One of her friends 'mistook' and placed her 'little gossip between girls' on the wrong wall and suddenly 'there is war!'
This can escalate....it is global and cannot be controlled!!!

Perhaps WW3....caused by 'Facebook'. :rolleyes:

David

[atlantis]

Anybody else like to join "our cult"?
Where do I subscribe?:cool:

[Davita]

Atlantis,
Subscription? Oh No!

In recognition of your magnificent contribution to this forum you have life honorary membership.

As our gang is only 2 (you and me) I vote, using smilies :D, that you become President. I accept to be Vice President and will ensure that vice will be foremost in our future agendas.

In view of this pandemic virus of addiction to Facebook and constant viewing of blank cellphones, we have a duty...nay...moral obligation to eradicate this phenomena.

I suggest we apply for charity status to enable receipt of Government grants for our group. When I return to Canada I will create a N. American chapter. If my tax dollars in Canada can support the Tamil Tigers I feel sure my splendid political leader will recognise our eandevours. You may be able to find similar sponsorship in 'Bon France', or is it 'Bonne?'.
My imagery is of banner wielding demonstrators on the top of trucks driving down Jalan Sudirman. We will need to have slogans and acronyms...I suggest the following for starters, but welcome other suggestions...

Beat Addictive Radical Facebook (BARF)
Facebook Addicts Require Treatment (FART)
Facebook Users Counselling Club (FUCC)

It would also be helpful if some Celebrities joined in...Look what that did for Scientology. I don't know any...I used to... but most have died of old age!

If it appears that the above is hallucinatory..this is the first sign of a useful withdrawal symptom.

David :rolleyes:

[stt_cibubur]

In Jakarta Post Its only 1 person opinion out of 200 million +++ , I dont think it make any different whatsoever.
Luckily most of my friend list are real friend ~~you knew them before you added them in your list~~~I am not worry if my friends read my post cos they are my friends/family/neighbours~~ not just like most user just add..add.. and add.. I saw some user have 1240 friends..unbelievable.

[ceang]

Me too, its great i found my lost friends since 20 years ago in this site...so so so ?

but not addcited just fans heheh

[izamarina]

am not addicted either (but its up on my screen 24-7), just a way I keep in contact with my families and friends, same with my YM/MSN..24-7. I reply whenever I am infront of my screen....

I think I can qualify as FUCC as Davita mentioned above. :)

Agree 100%. I am not addicted either, My laptops/my speedy/my skype ON all day..if there is message for me, I'll reply..... It just the way life is, peoples communicate each other, many invention like" Phones,Handphone, E-mail, pager, walkie talkie, its all for peoples to contact each other. BUT there are also load of peoples want to hide things ( most of things).. :eek:Paranoid

[Davita]

Aw! come on people...you leave Facebook on all day...and believe you are not addicted.
I understand the first step in any addicts five step program is to admit. Denial is not an option...you are better to confess your addictive sins NOW...before it is too late.
Then move to step two which is to communicate your problem to others and receive counseling.
Some people on this forum are creating a self-help group for Facebookers and, for a small fee to Charity, will guide you to salvation.

Boy, I'm having fun with this topic...almost addictive. J/K :rolleyes::D

Paranoid David

[stt_cibubur]

I think I am addicted to this place www.livinginindonesiaforum.org (http://www.livinginindonesiaforum.org) , I open FB twice a day but the screen for this site open all day...oooh help!!! lol..

To David: let's keep it coming... I have fun to read the result of your addiction :)

To STT_Cibubur: Sorry, our group is of no help for addiction to www.livinginindonesiaforum.org (http://www.livinginindonesiaforum.org)... Let's leave it like that and don't refrain your addiction. :)

[stt_cibubur]

Atlantis...I dont think there is any antidote for it, is there? I dont want any..hahahaha. Welcome to www.livinginindonesiaforum.com (http://www.livinginindonesiaforum.com) Addicts Anonymous (AA) club!

[Davita]

Here is another thought:

Most here will have heard the expression 'One persons's garbage is another's treasure.'

To use the same analogy how about:

'One person's Facebook Friend is another's "Pervert" "Stalker" "Pedophile" "Policeman" "Vindictive Partner" "Searching Sibling/Parent" "Lawyer" "Creditor" "CIA/FBI" "Deserter"

I'm sure there is more so please feel free to add to the list, especially if it's funny/personal.

Social websites harm children's brains: Chilling warning to parents from top neuroscientist


Social networking websites are causing alarming changes in the brains of young users, an eminent scientist has warned.


Sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Bebo are said to shorten attention spans, encourage instant gratification and make young people more self-centred.


The claims from neuroscientist Susan Greenfield will make disturbing reading for the millions whose social lives depend on logging on to their favourite websites each day.



But they will strike a chord with parents and teachers who complain that many youngsters lack the ability to communicate or concentrate away from their screens.


More than 150million use Facebook to keep in touch with friends, share photographs and videos and post regular updates of their movements and thoughts.



A further six million have signed up to Twitter, the 'micro-blogging' service that lets users circulate text messages about themselves.


But while the sites are popular - and extremely profitable - a growing number of psychologists and neuroscientists believe they may be doing more harm than good.



Baroness Greenfield, an Oxford University neuroscientist and director of the Royal Institution, believes repeated exposure could effectively 'rewire' the brain.

Computer games and fast-paced TV shows were also a factor, she said.
'We know how small babies need constant reassurance that they exist,' she told the Mail yesterday.


'My fear is that these technologies are infantilising the brain into the state of small children who are attracted by buzzing noises and bright lights, who have a small attention span and who live for the moment.'


Her comments echoed those she made during a House of Lords debate earlier this month. Then she argued that exposure to computer games, instant messaging, chat rooms and social networking sites could leave a generation with poor attention spans.



'I often wonder whether real conversation in real time may eventually give way to these sanitised and easier screen dialogues, in much the same way as killing, skinning and butchering an animal to eat has been replaced by the convenience of packages of meat on the supermarket shelf,' she said.
Lady Greenfield told the Lords a teacher of 30 years had told her she had noticed a sharp decline in the ability of her pupils to understand others.
'It is hard to see how living this way on a daily basis will not result in brains, or rather minds, different from those of previous generations,' she said.



She pointed out that autistic people, who usually find it hard to communicate, were particularly comfortable using computers.
'Of course, we do not know whether the current increase in autism is due more to increased awareness and diagnosis of autism, or whether it can - if there is a true increase - be in any way linked to an increased prevalence among people of spending time in screen relationships. Surely it is a point worth considering,' she added.



Psychologists have also argued that digital technology is changing the way we think. They point out that students no longer need to plan essays before starting to write - thanks to word processors they can edit as they go along. Satellite navigation systems have negated the need to decipher maps.



A study by the Broadcaster Audience Research Board found teenagers now spend seven-and-a-half hours a day in front of a screen.



Educational psychologist Jane Healy believes children should be kept away from computer games until they are seven. Most games only trigger the 'flight or fight' region of the brain, rather than the vital areas responsible for reasoning.



Sue Palmer, author of Toxic Childhood, said: 'We are seeing children's brain development damaged because they don't engage in the activity they have engaged in for millennia.



'I'm not against technology and computers. But before they start social networking, they need to learn to make real relationships with people.'

huh?

what was the question again ?

[ashayu]

Wow... that was heavy??? :D

I do agree that the relationship dynamics are changing.

Geek ... is becoming a growing community for people who prefer to isolate themselves from real people and becoming more vulnerable to any kind of confrontations.

Bottomline: The Expat forum members should meet often :D

[waarmstrong]

When an article published in the popular press quotes an authority, in this case, "an eminent scientist," my hand instinctively goes to my back pocket to assure than my wallet is still in place. Often the article author or the authorities quoted or both have an agenda that hypes scant research into a dooms day prediction. In my youth (I'm going to date myself here) both rock and roll and TV were predicted to destroy gray matter and lead to the death of civilization or the triumph of Communism, depending on the predicting "eminent authority." Didn't happen. Today its the Internet. Besides, I doubt that young people can be made any more self-centered than they already are.

Another good example of the voice of moral authority sans conclusive research. Reefer Madness, the movie anyway, was before my time. It was not being shown in science class any more when I sleep walked through high school.

Reefer Madness was certainly still "showing" throughout my high school and university days.....

The film was intended to be shown to parents as a morality tale (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morality_tale) attempting to teach them about the dangers of cannabis use.[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reefer_Madness#cite_note-History-0) However, soon after the film was shot, it was purchased by producer Dwain Esper (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwain_Esper), who re-cut the film for distribution on the exploitation film (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploitation_film) circuit.[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reefer_Madness#cite_note-History-0) The film never gained an audience until it was rediscovered in the 1970s and gained new life as a piece of unintentional comedy among cannabis smokers.[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reefer_Madness#cite_note-History-0)[3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reefer_Madness#cite_note-Peary-2) Today, it is in the public domain (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_domain) in the United States (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States) and is considered a cult film (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cult_film).[3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reefer_Madness#cite_note-Peary-2) It inspired a musical satire (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reefer_Madness_%28musical%29), which premiered off-Broadway (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Off-Broadway) in 2001, and a Showtime film, Reefer Madness (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reefer_Madness:_The_Movie_Musical), based on the musical.
