Space age interaction through Facebook
As a person with most no of posts without likes and comments, I am sharing this.
Facebook gives us the connecting power through which we get inter-connected with our old friends, classmates, seniors, juniors, friends of friends, family members, workplace colleagues and ex-colleagues wherever we are on the globe. All the diversity we see in the real life can also be seen on the Cloud life!
It gives us the expressive advantage through writing simple/complicated words/ sentences/ paragraphs/ essays/ documents, sharing images, commenting, mnemonics, symbols, polls, birthday reminders, greetings etc.
It also gives us the power to form homogeneous groups if they are willing to co-exist.
What happens after we post an update? Some people may press the like symbol. Some people, in turn, may share it within their networks. Some people may also leave their comment which may get into long threaded discussion on philosophy, attitude, work, business, movies, trending topics, music, religion, economy, technology, science so on and so forth.
The poster will feel gratified if he/she receives lot of likes and the post gets into a discussion mode. So far so good!
What about the post which receives no likes, no shares and no comments? We can’t say it went unnoticed! Of course not! People must or might have seen it but for various reasons they decided not to leave their digital foot print on our post.
While FB allows video chat to a great extent, the posts may not have that advantage.
While during the normal face-to-face discussions we can observe the body language and the other non-verbal communications of others, it is not possible to do so in these space-age interactions.
We need to feel happy for the fact that that our posting is at least on Cloud 9 and/or Cloud storage!
All the extras such likes and comments are just perks and bonuses!
Somewhere in the space
There’s common place
For all of us Facebook,
The joint we all seek!
