Why Did i Quit Facebook ?



In the recent times, I was having this thought to quit Facebook a number of times. I used to just deactivate it temporarily and return back after some days. But one fine day i felt its all enough and was brave enough to quit facebook. Here are the reasons i felt that its better to quit facebook. This is just my opinion and with these Im not really forcing anyone to Quit Facebook. But definitely you must definitely raise this question to yourself to decide on it.

 Data Integrity
Technology has advanced that it must allow you you need to know what is true and what is not. With Facebook, the need to analyse if a news is fake or not is getting nullified. There is a saying in my mother tongue "கண்ணால் காண்பதும் பொய், காதால் கேட்பதும் பொய், தீரவிசாரிப்பதே மெய்"which means, "Dont believe in what you see or hear, investigation is the best option". Now have a look at the below image

The image on the left is the original and on the right is the fake one created by someone. The worst part is, this information has been circulated in facebook like a virus. People just share and like the image without knowing if the information is true or not. Though its not facebook's actual fault but its being a platform to share and spread such fake news.

 Privacy
Though privacy is something which you can control, but frankly speaking how many of us read and set all those settings as per our needs. Default settings are definitely not in your favour. So whats the big deal in it ? I have read somewhere that "anything that is free of cost is because YOU are the price". My own information is the price of the service i get here free of cost. This leads to the gateway for the world to target anybody, steal their photo and do any sort of morphing they wanted to. As an individual from an average family i dont want to deal with such problems. 

 Dont really care what others are doing
I started to understand that no matter what, if friends really need you, they can / will reach you with / without facebook. My real friends are just a handful. I cannot believe to have 100+ friends just for the count sake. After all, not many of our friends like / chat daily, everyone has their own micro cosmos. Its truly not possible to spend time for them every single day by both you / them. And its not really important to know what other people are doing to be noted every single day in facebook

 Having said that, now i really spend some time in reading books spending time with my loved ones. And i dont really have my phone all the time seeing facebook and checking notifications. For atleast now i feel i dont have / dont want to share anything on the social media.

Conscious and Sub Conscious Mind

Image
Beautifully said by Shiv Kerra in his book "You can Win" Conscious mind is something which can think, accept or reject. But subconscious is something which just accepts. Its very important which is fed into your mind. Feelings like anger, fear, failure, doubt, hate are not supposed to be, because the auto suggestions immediately active from your subconscious mind. So what happens when this is activated ? Simple, your subconscious mind simply accepts them and your body and mind starts reacting to it. Its always better and good to feed your subconscious mind with good and positive thoughts. The control to your subconscious mind is with your conscious mind. Subconscious like the automobile, but the conscious mind is like the driver which needs to drive it. The Subconscious mind can either work for us or against us. It all depends on how we train it and how we drive it. Subconsciously, certain things like emotions, habits, beliefs, long term memories are stored. Du...

Tricky Java Interview Questions - Part 1

Hi Folks, any java interview you go there will definitely be certain tricky question they tend to ask and sometimes even to write the program in a white board. Here im planning to bring all those questions together in one page, so that i can be helpful for me and also you guys to refer once before the interview. 1. I had this question with a famous MNC in the 1st technical round. They gave me the below code snippet and told to write any thing after this statement and nothing before this. Expected output : Print 1 2 3 .... 100 Code : for(int i=0; i> Working code Answer : for(int i=0; i>=0;) { if(i==100) { break; } System.out.println(++i); } This is pretty simple but can be tough to quickly derive the logic at that point of time. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. This question was asked to me during an interview to test not only my java basic programmi...
