The facebook generation

I came across this term after " Bersih 2"  in the facebook. I have also read articles which expressed freedom , basic rights and about their love , heartaches and feelings in facebook. This new found tool is really the users' life and world but most of all their contacts and the communication with their pals.
During the ancient days in China, the message was spread by the use of moon cake to promote a revolution and this activity became a part of the Chinese culture until today. It is called the "lantern festival" or the "moon cake" festival.  This festival is celebrated on the 15th of the Chinese eight lunar calendar every year. Nowadays, there is no message in the moon cake but just different type of  sweet paste and ingredient to make it tasty. Now, the facebook  users sent your message instantly and can be assess by multi-users at the same time. There is also a chat room facility  which acts like an instant fax or SMS. The speed and its capability is enormous and powerful.

Theis communication tool is more powerful than the phone and its access to multi-user at real time can link people , keep them up-to-date and organized and coordinate group actions. It is a blessing as well as a curse. If it is used properly, it is an amazing tool of communication and linkage but at the same time if it is used wrongly, it can create a disaster. Now, it you do not google, facebook or tweeter then you are considered an out caste. It is frightening what tomorrow will bring as technology improves by leap and bound.

Anyhow, I want to pay tribute to the facebook generation for their ability  to scheme and organized an event so big recently and it was for a good cause.

Keep it up, guys and gays of the FB. Keep connecting and communicating and be happy in what you are doing. Syabas to all of you.

Namaste.
