I
am one of the very few people in the world that I have met that refuse to use Facebook. The Facebook trend has entirely taken over my
generation and it has shown no serious signs of decline. I made a Facebook my freshmen year in
college, and I hated it. The idea that
anyone could look me up and find me made me very uneasy and I deleted mine
immediately. Over the years I have
shocked people when I explain that I despise Facebook. Usually people agree with me that Facebook is
over the top, but they say they have a profile for two reasons: to keep in touch with old friends and to
network, or keep informed of events going on around them. I have always done a great job at keeping in
touch with my old friends, but I cannot argue with the second reason. Although I have never had the problem of
being out of the loop, I can definitely say that many people I meet are lost
without being able to add them on Facebook.
Today I could potentially have connections all throughout California if
I had kept up with my social networking, and that is my only minor regret. But the day has come and I am finally going
to commit to keeping up with a Facebook.
I realize that not having one is a negative image when building a
career. Companies may become suspicious
if they are not able to find you, wonder what I have to hide. Although I want to remain strong and stay away
from this new age trend, I am finally going to cave and conform to
society. I am ready to enter the Facebook
generation.
