Facebook? Nah. I don't have one. I've known Facebook for a year now. It was April of last year when I first accessed a Facebook page. When someone asks me, "Do you have a Facebook?" [Yeah, that's what they say.] I proudly answer, "No." And that short say leaves them pretty shocked. After that, I'm now stereotyped as the girl who isn't familiar of the tech world or sometimes a little bit exaggerated, like the girl who doesn't know anything about the Net or even more, the girl who doesn't have a computer. Lol at people who say that.
Not having a Facebook account, for me, is not a sign of being technically weak. I chose not to have one for a year because I just want the phenomenon to wane and move to another social networking site so I could fully enjoy what it has to offer without people's nagging that they have more pages, mine is not well customized, etc. But it does not necessarily mean that a person does not know much about the present technological happenings if he or she is not registered in a famous networking site.
Not to brag but I really could not stand the stuff people are saying. I could make cool typographies and edited graphics with Photoshop. I could Google a person one afternoon and know the rest of his life the next morning. I could download versions of software which aren't even out in the market yet. I could rescue a document lost because of errors in MS Word. I could remove viruses, worms, and trojans manually. And the most obvious thing, I have this Blogspot. And it's fully loaded and customized with stuff. Yeah. I loaded them all. Maybe from sites but they are credit-given. All these are pretty amateur but you can't say a person who can do these isn't tech-savvy.
Ok. So maybe the reason why I still don't have an account there is because I want to be different. I want my being to be fairly dissimilar to what norm teens of this generation practice. I usually don't listen to what other people say but I only listen to what God and I think is right. And I think it's about time. Maybe not today. Tomorrow might be a good time. But some time sooner, you'll see my name on Facebook.
Hello Facebook. ;]
