No Facebook For A Week.. Easy Right? Wrong!

For those of you who've decided to take part in that thing called "social networking," you know that once you are "hooked" it's hard to imagine your life with out it.

So maybe it was my constant status updates that made my boss put me up to the challenge of going 5 days without Facebook. Hard? No! Easy? Definitely not!

So how exactly did I do?

At first, I am not going to lie I was a little stressed out. Maybe I am just weird but I hate having an icon on my phone whether it's the little Facebook symbol, or the little envelopes, or the voice mail icon. It bothers me! Therefore, having all these Facebook notifications on my phone were very frustrating!

I admit it... I log on Facebook at work.
I do use Facebook for work purposes not just for my own personal use. I have sources that will shoot me a Facebook email me or message me on Facebook chat letting me know what's going on. Even the first day, I had logged on to say that I wasn't going to be able to get on Facebook for 5 days, one of my sources sent me a message before I could finish updating my status!

But, I also have family in Colombia, South America and in Switzerland, Facebook is a way for me to communicate with them since I can't afford the long distance phone calls!

And of course, like many of you,I have reconnected with old friends from high school, middle school, even from my kindergarten days!!

Facebook also gives me the opportunity to meet some of our KRBC viewers!
Will I ever go without Facebook again? Nope, at least not willingly!

Could you make it with facebook for a week? What about other websites or technology that we didn't have 15-20 years ago?
