So this blog was due Friday....I am a little late, because I am a idiot and couldn't figure out how to log into my blogger. Anyways, I am supposed to choose one of the essays from "What Matters in America," and write about it. I chose to write about "You Gotta Have 150 Friends," by Robin Dunbar.
Dunbar says that the average number of Facebook friends that we can maintain meaningful relationships is 150.
I think this is crazy. There are only about 10 people I really interact with on Facebook and that is on a weekly basis, NOT DAILY! I have about 400 Facebook friends, Most I don't know and quite a few of them I don't even like! Then there is the select few few that I check up on and chat with.
Haha I like how honest you are about your facebook friends and how some of them you don't even like. I will admit it...I have a few fb friends like that myself. One of these days I'm just going to go ahead and drop/defriend them! You make good points here.
