Facebook: a virtual world, beware!



Numerous studies show that Facebook users are beginning to get tired of this platform, while everyone still seems to be there ... For a good reason?

A world of image

Dare we say, Facebook is a waste of time. Many of us spend on Facebook "just a few seconds» to finally stay there very long minutes. But what is the real value of Facebook if not to spy on every move of his "friends"? Real hub of voyeurism , we like to hang out there to analyze the behaviors of others (comments, "like" , statutes, songs listened, games , ...) and the image they give ( pictures, number of friends , reactions, ... ) because yes , we are talking here about IMAGE . Facebook is an illusion where everyone becomes a character; create his own style, his “life”.

But imagination sometimes takes precedence over reason and we get lost in the virtual world. Some envy the lives of others, others rely on this site to discover a new met person. Even the tax administration, among others, uses Facebook to compare the tax returns of individuals to the "real" lifestyle they lead, according to their virtual profile!

But since when do we need an internet platform to get an idea of ​​a person we just met? Are we so dependent on these notions of images and appearance that seem to govern our society?

Although some of us regularly take facebook breaks, this image tool has become a factor of stress, whether for couples who lack confidence, people who accepted their colleagues as friends on facebook or those already suffering from a lack of self-confidence.
