Facebook ? Control freaks ? Lack of privacy, constantly changing the rules.
It's true they keep your data without you knowing, why should they? That
is their downfall. What is the psychology behind it? When we dig a
little deeper in the secret and hidden world of Mark Zuckerberg we see a
person that most professionals would define as a secret control freak.
Money can make people go crazy it seems in this case it has made him in
to a control freak.
The kind of person who likes to compile data on people but in a sinister
way. Geeks can be like that, hacker can be also.
Comparing the psychology of hackers and the people who run facebook and
even how google is becoming show serious psychological disorders at the
top of the pyramids of power.
Facebook?
People thought it was an amazing way to have "Social networking". The
concept is very simple a computer server with a database that connects
people together around the world. But why was "social networking" so
popular and why is it rapidly coming to an end?
Basically the psychology behind it is fatally flawed. The structure
doesn't work. Let's step back in time 10 years or so.
The internet, some basic concepts are email. Email is amazing, SMS is
amazing. You can contact someone instantly around the world, the concept
goes back to the radio and telephone, it is brilliant. Email is more
convenient than posting a letter.
Think about it though, if you were making a telephone call to a friend
would you want all your other friends phones to ring so they can listen
in on the call? No, there might be private things you would say to that
person alone, the conversation being irrelevant to other people.
The problem with social networking is you have to be careful what you
say because everyone can view it, that makes you ask is it worth making
things public. It becomes a burden to think "Oh I bet George might not
think that way".
A person might have multiple friends, multiple friends tend to be in
multiple groups, church friends, work friends, pub friends, family,
useful people, social people. They don't all go together no get along,
often they have a wide variety of beliefs or purposes sometimes conflicting.
In real life most people do all they can to avoid the mother in law
bitch, or that fat farting negative depressed uncle that smells of piss.
There is a time for those people often the minimum time possible to keep
in their good books.
Peoples social interactions are a far more complex thing than the narrow
database of public.
Google and facebook are both doomed in the concept of social networking
because privacy is lost. There are hackers who hunt that information to
exploit for making money or theft.
People ask themselves "Is it worth it?" Is it worth loosing privacy for
the sake of talking publicly to people who for the most part aren't
interested.
Google and Facebook both operate "above the law" because they have so
much money and add to the economy. The downside is they are run by
narcissists who care nothing about privacy and everything about profit.
Profit = loosing privacy. Most people realize it's not worth it. Social
networking doesn't help you get a job or make friends. Those things are
better achieved one on one, direct contact.
If you are looking for a wife you wouldn't simply look at an image
online and say "She'll do", people exploit that naivety, criminals and
unethical women look good to scam you and get your money.
Reality is far safer than virtual reality, 80% of communication is
non-verbal. Online you loose most of the meaning of the conversation.
One to one communication is best for most people, it's best because most
people don't want to be bothered about what other people might think
especially if they can't see who's watching or listening.
Imagine the scene you are talking to a woman on the street you like, now
imagine a mirrored glass wall next to you. You don't know who's on the
other side ( like CSI or NCIS ) social networking is like that, you have
no idea of her friends or your friends who might be watching behind the
mirror, hence it causes stress "Who's watching, do I have to be careful
about what I say?"
Facebook and Google+ are unnatural communication, you don't know who's
watching or lurking.
Other methods of communication are better, Skype is far better, email
good, SMS or phone calls far more natural.
Social networking is worse than a diary of phone numbers or emails. The
diary doesn't spy on you or listen in.
People originally thought facebook was like a handy way to connect to
other people around the world, but it is flawed in that you need to
moderate all the things you say which means in the end often there is
nothing to say to people you need to connect with but who have
contradicting personality or beliefs.
Facebook and Google+ have too many rules and regulations and
exploitation and privacy issues making them not a long term investment,
not worth having, they are redundant and can far more effective methods
of relevant communication are available without the stupid greedy
narcissistic control freaks doing it for the money.
Human communication and socializing is far more complex than any
database can deal with, beyond that online is not real not natural and
you have no idea who's watching lurking or stealing your information for
the sake of profit.
Facebook will die, google+ will die they are too simplistic and
exploitative to be of any use. It is impossible to set up grouping of
people because the dynamics change often on a daily basis, naturally we
can deal with this but it's simply not worth effort online or the hassle.
What is of use are more traditional methods, a person can have a website
for professional purposes to market themselves as can stars and
professional companies. Private life though should be private without
the paranoia of "who's watching or reading". The fact the narcissists in
control of facebook and google+ don't value your privacy and change the
rules all the time mean they are fading away to nothing. Millions are
walking away from facebook because at the end of the day it might have
started good but is it simply a way to gather data to exploit people for
money and privacy is not valued.
The fact you need to even think about who's watching and reading makes
social sites actually anti-social and a very ineffective way to find
friends or get work. People often fake who they are in order to get jobs
and friends but "Now I really know who you are, get lost you're a fake"
Social media and social networking is all about fake, the stars in
reality look nothing like they really are as normal people, facebook and
google+ create fakeness. Fakeness always ends in disappointment.
