Is FB an Angel or a Devil?

Its amazing how programmes like Facebook and Twitter have taken over the world within the last 2 years. something so simple like a personal account on the internet can make such a storm in everyday life!

So are such prgs worthy or one's life? where you have to check every moment what other people are doing, when you have to broadcast everything about your life? where if you dun have 500 friends means you are loser?

i am not sure where all these interesting pak gua web prgs will take us human beings. i think its a vicious cycle. some things u put on such sites may just come back and hunt you without you even knowing it. Too much information is definitely not healthy for one's soul.
In fact 10 over years back, i watched a very disturbing Japanese movie during the film fest where the reporters were too hungry for news and ended up in a rather shocking situation.
the film would keep you thinking is this hunger for info and fast news necessary? or its just a moment of cheap thrill to announce something or know something.

over the wkend, i realised FB can be evil after all.....that is to show the true colours of some people. yes its actually a simple prg where u play games, find old friends and share some nice photos but some people do fall into the FB trap - the negative side of FB. they show their ugly side unknowingly.

do u think that the 400 frens u have inside your account all deserve to know the same level of info about you or your life or your family? How can that be? one person surely cant have 400 best friends?

now its gets me thinking if i should get a HTC Hero phone where FB and Twitter updates are done instantaneously. Do i need to know all these info? yes its fun and paparazzi but ultimately...NO, i dont need to know. Life is already moving fast enough as it is, and now this?
i said before in earlier entries...first mobile phones, then email, internet, MP3, Youtube, FB, Twitter and then what? i even saw a fake eye with smart chip that can connect to the human human brain yest in Newsweek!! imagine a blind person able to see again!

i decided - no need for Hero, just give me a normal phone where i can call someone when necessary.
