| Facebook combines written and figurative communication skills and ordinary life. It lacks the anonymity of other internet forums and includes the decorum and relatability of ordinary life. Facebook critically captures a real frame of reference with its disclosure of a person’s details, photos and life stories. Facebook can still be used like any other internet social forum, where one can apply their written intelligence; however, this is scorned and frowned upon, users tending to conform to a norm of average intelligence and everyday small talk and mundane story telling. We form an image of ourselves and how we imagine others to see and perceive us, mostly from our profile picture, any nicknames, engagement with our posts and any antisocial behaviour that either we have shown or received from others. People are more daring in their offence on the internet (especially with anonymous forums) but when someone’s whole identity is plastered on a page for all to see, and when the people we are connected with could plausibly confront us in real life, or if we risk embarrassing our family, this makes offence on Facebook more tame. We can misinterpret what people say on Facebook, but this is just an inherent ambiguity that sometimes applies with written communication. Proper grammar and high vocabulary are frowned upon on Facebook, with many celebrities using the grammar and writing skills of a proverbial three year old. Should we try reach a more articulate and objectively better standard on Facebook? Intellectual value being inherently good and superior to a trashier or more vulgar standard. Not everyone can learn as well as others, but, the point is: that we can all learn eventually, and so it would be good to see an online world on Facebook that flourishes with good grammar, articulation and written quality. When someone enter a social situation on Facebook, he has the ability to gather far more facts about the situation (from previous posts and comments) before interacting with the relevant people, able to make more informed and relevant contributions that should not lead to his embarrassment or shame. If he thinks the social situation to which he may partake is out of his league, then he only has to refrain from commenting or posting and no digital footprint is left from him, everyone else none the wiser. The use of emojis is also a stronger mode of communication and the poster who uses these tends to get far more likes and engagement, unlike anonymous forums, where emoji use is shunned. The difference between good grammar and emoji use competency are what most starkly differentiate anonymous forums from social media like Facebook. The former more intelligent, the latter more prosocial. And people who frequently use social media like Facebook rarely use anonymous forums, and people who use anonymous forums rarely use Facebook. People typically only tend to possess the social intelligence of emoji usage or the intellectual intelligence of grammar and articulation – very rarely will someone possess both. What do you think? |
