Facebook?
This is the oddest of practices. Strangely there are no books involved with this thing. It is accessed through a contraption called a computer on a medium know as the Internet but that is another story for another time. One element of what these people call a "website", is the status. In this section, people do many things. They share examples of the meaningless details of their lives that no one seems to care about and sometimes random selections of words from musical compositions are displayed. I know, quite a strange phenomenon indeed. Another most perplexing happening that occurs in this place is the concept of "poking" your friends. I know what you are thinking "Why would someone poke their friend because that could hurt the recipient of the so called poke? In fact, no physical contact occurs. The recipient simply receives a notification that they have been poked. Being on the receiving end of one of these occurrences may in fact be more annoying than actually getting physically poked it is hard to tell. Yet other odd component of this thing is the matter in which photos and videos are displayed. Many of these media files seem to have solely been created to be shown on this website. I believe this because in many cases these videos and photos have no point whatsoever and seem to be nothing anyone has any reason to look at. This far from all the oddities contained on this website but it would take many hours of writing to describe the other minor processes such as "commenting", "Facebook chatting", and "Wall-To-Wall" communication so this is where I shall end my investigation of the bizarre wonder known as Facebook.
