Here is the summary of my life with cons and pros:

+ I'm a computer programmer who is working alone with just a PC and the internet connection, I'm 23 years old and I learned English after the age of 18. I sell my software to people from all the countries in the world, on the internet. And I'm making enough money to support my parents, eat, drink, buy clothes, travel, hang out, buy the things I want like technological tools etc. But ofc I am not a millionaire and money can't change 100% my life unless I make millions. But I think making money is the biggest advantage maybe the only advantage of my life.

+ I don't have to go to any school or job place after my highschool graduation (after the year: 2010).. That's both positive and negative. The positive side: I have lots of spare times and freedom. The negative side: you will see them below:

- I only have 3-4 alone and male friends who are very unsocial just like me. And we don't hang out that often.

- I have social anxiety disorder, I tried lots of things to overcome my anxiety like; visiting a therapist, joining the gym etc.. but they never fully worked. My anxiety feels like it will be always with me till I die. My highschool was like hell, and because of my anxiety I never wanted to go to any school or college or club after HS and I still can't get a regular job or join any place. I'm generally at my home and alone all the time. I never had a girlfriend in my life.

- I tried to have fun. I've been to the disco / club, vacation places, I tried to drink alcohol with my male friends in bars, I visited some massage parlours etc etc. Did lots of things in my life after the age of 20, but anxiety is still there and I'm not happy with my life.

What would you do if you were me? Do you have any life suggestions for me?

Having a personal computer that can fit in your pocket, with constant internet access, geolocation abilities, the abilitiy to share any type of information at any time with the entire world, boundless entertainment in infinite ways, more intricate conversations through video chatting, and calling reception in most terrain around the world... is an awesome thing! Smartphones are an amazing technology.

However in the past few years there has been backlash against smartphones, saying they are bad for society and would rather not use one.

I know every technology has its pros and cons. As the saying goes, it isn't the tool, it is how the tool is used.

But you would THINK the cons of smart phones are outweighed by the pros, right? Apparently not so in today's social climate.

According to the data from the experiment so far over a million people changed their facebook profile picture with the rainbow filter in support of gay "marriage".

It was used as a psychological tool for testing and collecting data on users that would be influenced by movements from others. There is further data collection servers focused on seeing how long it will also take the users to later remove the filter too according to MIT network scientist Cesar Hidalgo.



The red line in this Facebook graph shows how actions that deemed risky spread differently online. In cases like the marriage equality meme that took place in 2013, more people are likely to take part, the more friends they have, as shown by the number of exposures in this graphic

Pictured is the spread of membership in LGBT Facebook Groups across the US. By setting up its own tool to let people filter their profile picture, the concern is that Facebook is able to get an unprecedented insight into how to influence people's views, such as their support for same-sex marriage.

The conducted survey was able to operate by bypassing consumer data privacy violations through the above method and able to conclude that people were largely followers of whatever their friends and mainstream social media presented
