Its February 2004, in some deserted area near Cambridge, Massachusetts a light is seen heading towards the Earth. It turns out to be a small meteor, it crashes into the ground. Soon after, a few human lifeforms come out. They make their way down to the city, and observe the everyday people, in which they come up with the idea to form some sort of networking circle using computers, which inevitably spirals
out of control. It was only meant for a certain band of people to interact in the beginning, now everybody can use it, thus the epidemic and lack of socialness began throughout the world.
General areas where people used to go and have some fun are now ghost towns, the only activity area is at night at the nearest bar/club of addicted
facebookers getting shitfaced taking about
3000 pictures pretty much exactly the same and uninteresting, eagerly awaiting to put them on facebook when they have recovered and get some positive comments. At the same time exam results, school, and real life in general suffer.
It is a pointless
popularity contest to see how many friends people can add, 99% of which you'll never speak to now or barely know in real life. Also great for chasing someone you like without even having to say a word in person, just search their name and bingo, hot guy/girl is now on my radarz.
Don't get sucked in like many others, you'll be thankful you didn't, as you'll be one of the real life people and not the fake ones who class facebook as real life.
Guy: Whoa! Did you see what happened to Jake last night at Vintage Bar, I saw it on Bobs Facebook,
you should see my comment and the photos.
Real person: Why would I care about that, fuck off and go stick
your penis up their arses online, I've got a life to live.
Guy: That's well going on Facebook!
