I love... perusing... facebook, I guess I would say,
because
that is the word for it that occurred to me just now, but
it
is more of a browsing, or actually, it is kind of an ADD
suicide where I follow the story line for between 1 and 5
seconds and then when I get sick of it, I kill the moment
by
scrolling to the next post. And that's pretty much the
only
choice you have, to kill the immediate moment and then
see what facebook has spawned for you in the next
moment, which will be of course subtly influenced a
nominal percentage of the time by their algorithms. So
its
like killing your immediate self and waiting to see what
the environment will come up with next, which is fine if
the environment is nature because nature has a pretty
good
track record, but increasingly in my experience the
environment seems to be producing assholes as
evidenced
by the 7 billion too many people who are populating my
facebook feed, so, maybe one way to change this, or
maybe just sucker more people into using facebook so
that
they can continue to either overpopulate the world, or
come to think of it maybe to anethetize themselves into
a
non procreative state and thereby solve the population
problem, would be to make facebook 3D, with the
dimensions being time, author and subject, so that you
could scroll the chronological facebook feed up and
down,
but then, when you wanted to, scroll each poster left
and
right to see the history of their posts, and then scroll
along
the z axis by seeing a flip chart of other posts related to
the subject. |

It's not that easy if you are using it so people can contact
you for advice and buy things off you on which you rely
financially. If I didn't have it available all the time, most of
the income from my business over the past few years would
not have come my way. |
