Pantry Ponders

After ridiculous attempts of trying to start one of my many assignments, I gave up and decided my procrastination was too far gone to do anything productive. So, when this happens, which is quite often, I walk down the stairs and stare blankly into my fridge or pantry. Staring at my fridge or pantry is about as satisfying as it is to watch paint dry, this is due to the lack of edible, not 3 weeks out of date or appetising food. So there I was, munching on stale chips gazing into the pantry wishing for something delicious to just appear out of nowhere. After a few minutes and more stale chips, I also gave up on this ridiculous idea and levelled with realty; baked beans or two minute noodles. With my eyes darting back and forth between the two, I noticed both items had that little blue square with a white lower case 'f'. FOLLOW BAKED BEANS ON FACEBOOK? what is the world coming to. I then looked around and saw that everything from my Uncle Toby's porridge to my Campbells chicken stock wanted me to follow them on Facebook. 

- I turned on the TV, the local butcher wanted me to follow them on Facebook

- 3/4 of my current assignments are about Facebook and social media

- You can now let your family know your organ donor status on Facebook

- As I'm writing this baked bean fuelled rant I saw a notification pop up on Facebook (and I checked it)

EVERYTHING in the world is about Facebook, it seems there's no escaping it. By no means am I complaining, if I were, the word hypocrite would be good place to start when describing myself, but it just makes me wonder, whatever did people/companies do without Facebook? If that one guy who's now a trillionaire wasn't born, if his parents hadn't met, if for some reason he wasn't a genius like the rest of us, what would the world be like today? Sure, there would probably be something similar but would it have changed the world like Facebook has? I also wonder if this is just a fad, the whole social media revolution, brave new world rah rah rah thing. Will my kids have Facebook? Will there kids make their relationships 'Facebook official' and tweet about the robot that just that just stole their flying car?

Ah what a rant, and yet still no progress on assignments. Perhaps I have at least given someone else a chance to procrastinate? If so, I'm sorry and your welcome. Now back to the fridge...
