Facebook blocked the social suicide machine
This article may appear a bit dated, but I think it's still apt! Read the article here The recent Oxford Internet survey showed that there is a increasing number of people who are not interested and reject taking part in the 'online world'.
With this article I'm also referring to a previous post about the social suicide machine since I looked for official reviews on this service. The social suicide machine deletes your facebook / twitter / linked profile for you (well since 2010 not Facebook anymore), but it doesn't delete it only - the suicide machine shows in a animated way how you loose your online friends and contacts and this might give you some pleasure!
I watched the intro movie about the suicide machine and thought there was one big flaw the way the creator of the suicide machine put things. He said: "Online experience is absolutely no substitute for realtime experiences, all those images, youtube links and tweets are leaving us feeling empty".
I support the view that online contact can't replace face-to-face contact, but is there not an argument for realtime online experience, for example where a family video calls another family over skype at Christmas?
