Social experiment - [Results]
So I ran a small experiment to see if we are really dependent on social networks (facebook, etc) to supplement our umm…social life.
Facebook has this thing where they announce someones birthday, so I decided to turn that feature off. And here are the results.
As of today, a day after my birth date, I did not receive any birthday wishes on facebook. I did though receive 5 text messages on my phone.
I have to admit that I myself depend on birthday notifications on facebook and my conclusion is yes, we are dependent on a social network to remember personal things like birthdays. Either that or people just don’t give a damn. :)
