RE: Imagine what 1 Billion People could do if they Didn't Use Facebook

in #steemit8 years ago

Sure i agree with you and what you are saying is correct. Facebook is a waste of time but also is gaming a waste of time or watching football or tennis or golf and and and. But people do it anyway. It's a social need that people waste their time. As sad as it is. Not everyone fits in this model to do something productive for mankind. Time-Wasters are absolutely necessary for a community like ours. Without those "time-wasters" people wouldn't know what to do at all. If that time could be used to educate people and increase their horizon well that would be great but our social system just and our celebrities and media doesn't want people to get smarter and when you give uneducated people too much free time..... well just stupid things will happen. Best example are most of the followers of trump who doesn't have a clue about politics but cheer about trump because they understand his simplistic sentences like "I will built a wall" etc.. Many of them have too much free time and then protests begin where people will get hurt..... This is much more complex than you are explaining in you post... and i would be glad if we discuss this further ;9 give me your opinion!

Sort:  

I sat in a full doctors office and 9 out of the twelve were obviously on Facebook and the other three were watching daytime television and I was writing this article.

Well if they are doing their doctor i think they should have knowledge about time management and what they have to do to reach their goal. Depends on the major they are doing their doctor. There are social or philosophical doctors where you can waste your time but i made my master in a room full of other engineer doctors and no one had the time to waste their time on facebook or anything else. We were in the laboratory or programming our simulations or writing about our works all the time and i mean really the whole working day.
