"Real" Facebook hugs?

ChrisDanger · 5 October 12, 13:54

If this is the seed of a culture-defining trend, I am going to kill myself.

Uh-oh, I see what next from-a-distance physical thing is coming up...

God, Facespook and Twitiot have already degraded society beyond help, but I've suspected for some time it's only the start.

Turning us into a collective who eagerly waits for (digital) "Likes", "Hugs"/"Kisses" and whatnot...

"Resistance is futile".

Unbelievable. What's next, "Marriage through the Cloud"? Wow, a whole new breed of lawyers to solve digi-marital probs...

I have four Farcebook pages (for different groups of "friends") and am continually appalled at the increasing amount of drivel wasting bandwidth nowdays. Sturgeon's Law applies more than ever.

There is an old saying that a million monkeys typing on a million typewriters for a million years could write the works of Shakespeare. The internet has disproven this concept.

This invention is just another in a long history of crazy ideas that never gets beyond the prototype concept, to full market acceptance. Human history is full of them.

As far as the "humankind is getting worse" rants... People were just as stupid and messed up before the internet and social media. Now we can see it, when before we didn't.

Sorry to say Den, it's not the start but the end.

Mum to Son: 'Come here and let me give you a hug'.
Son to Mum: 'Geez Mum, if you really loved me you'd give me a digital hug on my 'Not face2facebook' account - you know it doesn't mean anything unless all my *friends* see how popular I am !'.

If Farcebook does eventually disappear (with nothing equally infantile to replace it), what are the odds that a new 'disease' will pop up to describe half the world's withdrawal symptoms.

It's time to get off your face

I rather like the sound of "off your face" book. I'd subscribe to that.
