A Response to "Facebook and Philosophy"

This is a response to the article "Facebook and Philosophy" I'm a Disney Princess


Right off the bat, the writer of this article tell you that "The things that happen on Facebook are pretty meaningless". I was not shocked to hear this, but even so, it hit me hard. It made me think about all the pointless things I do on Facebook, even though I didn't actually think of them as pointless. Even now, I think everything had a meaning. As I read further, I found his comment was actually going somewhere. Everything on Facebook does have a meaning. It's different to all of us. If you saw me on Facebook take a "Which Disney Princess Are You?" quiz, what would you think? Maybe you'd think I'm doing it sarcastically and laugh it off after a couple comments from my friends on the subject. However, my thoughts on why I did it can be different from what you think. If I were to take that quiz, I would do it seriously. I would seriously think, "If I was a girl and had the opportunity to be dubbed a princess, judging from my personality, who would I be most like?" Most of those quizzes are basically simplified personality quizzes anyway, so taking them is interesting. I've actually made my own personality quiz for a project. It's a lot more complicated than a Disney Princess quiz, but I still take the same joy of taking both the quizzes none the less.
