In Defence of facebook members

I have seen that commercial....to me it's very quirky! The parents are out having fun while she is sitting in front of a computer....well I do both! LOL...not to worry for my kids...and I am a facebooker but don't feel offended by this at all!

The commercial is actually kinda funny... it is making fun of the girl because her parents are out having a life and she is sitting there on facebook with her 600 friends. This is not to say that virtual interaction is not fun, it IS, but when someone is just living completely virtually and believing it is better than doing something in person (if you have the opportunity), you can see why people are chuckling about it. Plus, many young adults think their parents are lame - and we aren't. We are people too, we also have friends and interests and hobbies and RELATIONSHIPS... lol. There are some things we really love and some things we really hate. WE aren't just ancient creatures who were your buzz-kill about everything fun you wanted to do while you were growing up lol. One more thing - I am on facebook and I enjoy it, pretty regularly. I also drive a Toyota. My parents are on my facebook list too.

I need to pay better attention to commercials. I have heard that one in the background, but I never really looked closely at it. Atleast we know it's available in Canada. I think that Facebook has gotten so big, that people don't think of it as having individual members. I agree with you, they need to stop making fun of Facebook users. I love Facebook, but not to socialize with random strangers, rather to stay connected to true friends, and people with common interests. I also keep in touch with family that i don't see that often, because of the distance. Also, I have some relatives that communicate better in short tweet-like posts, as opposed to long letters and phone calls. To each her/his own.

I also agree with one of the friend above. These social networking sites are really bad for the social life of a person. If I take a test to find out the numbers of the friends what I would love to go with for a cup of tea then I find it very difficult to find even a single friend. It is not the real social life that we should live. I think the Mylot is a good one and here you feel special about yourself because you increase your knowledge.

I think that I do see the point that Toyota is trying to make here. I think that it is far better to be out and about in the wilderness going on hikes and enjoying the outdoors then sitting inside all day on Facebook, looking at photos. Even though I must admit that I am very guilty of doing just that on Facebook, I can spend HOURS online. And I quite resent Facebook for being there and being so tempting, because I would much rather be outdoors. I'm going to make it my new goal to try spend less time online and moor time outside, doing fun things!

I'm sorry but I have to agree with Toyota Having more friends on Facebook is not a feat that you should proud of Having more friends in real world is the one that you can proud of That 19 friends of the parents Facebook could mean all of them are well known by the parents

Make this for the experience and now is the time for introspection. What wrote that can roughly be taken lessons. Do not get sad
