. Have you made friends from it?
I haven't made friends over Facebook I believe it can help friendships and make a lot of progress on possible relationships. It helps you in awkward situations, that you want to deal with
. How do you feel about people making friends over it?
I think it’s wrong, of course you can see you can see friend request’s mutual friends to you and assume that person requesting permission to go on your secured page (if you have been smart enough to have secured your work).
. How do you feel about your photos being broadcasted around the world?
I believe my photographs are secured but not 100% sure. I am not vulnerable to any creepy people wanting to perv over my photographs. But if I had a child on in it (Facebook is very popular with the young ones) I would be very unhappy.
. Does it annoy you reading up non-valuable statuses? For example what you’re having for dinner
I hate it, I go on Facebook out of boredom and want to read about how my friends and the Facebook friends (friends I spoke to for about five minutes one drunken night or someone I haven’t spoken to since I left high school). I don’t go on to read pointless music lyrics or that they just had cheesy pasta for dinner.
. Do you like typing up everything that you’re doing?
No, I just attempt to type out funny stasuses or important news about myself they don’t need to know the last time I went to the toilet or that I am about to go to bed
Would you pay for the service?
No way, infact it would probably do me favour, less pointless distractions that way
Are there anything similar to this coming through?
Of course Twitter if they made it easier for me to understand then maybe I would consider but I would the same problem before but with boring statuses except this time it would just be boring, celebrity tweets. Blogger could come close to it but it would just be the fact you write a lot more, people would treat it like a broadcasting diary. I think bebo has had it’s time at the top and is now old news.
Online phases: The internet is perfect for influencing and manipulating customers with a time consuming phase. Habbo came into my mind automatically, the amount of money I must have wasted. It was basically making a cartoon version of yourself, an avatar and basically mingling with thousands of others. Here's the money making part, if you want to chat to someone in private, like have a gossip with someone from school or chat to have you haven't seen for a while you have to take them to your room. Now to make your room good andf impress your friends you have to pay £2.50 for credits that young people like me where minipulated to do.
Online gaming
. Do you think this replaces real social interaction?
I do, because your focussing on a game and the only time you socialise with your team mates it about the game. In real life situations like at college you have breaks where
. Why do you think it is addictive? Like meeting friends down at the pub and you are persuaded by them do you think this the same using chat?
. Is it just seen as a second life for these addicts when really it is just escapism from their own?
“With recent mishaps with bank details a public information going walk-abouts can we really trust them?
Watching a part of a chat show the host and two other guests were blaming the third guest (a representative of video games) for gun crime in this country other violent acts and basically most of today’s problems on gaming. Is it fair to blame one influence? You blame neglectful parenting, the negative media (you have to kill someone to be recognised nationally) the violent movies that is provided by well respected adults or basically just human nature in general, our nature of greed (to want more) or aggression (when we get angry and want to break something). Just look at our violent history did they all have the “violent, evil” consoles we have today?”
