Its the way most people common communicator stay in touch today social media. Why are many considering logging off for good. Good annie tell us why. I can think of a few reasons. I dont know if they are leaving facebook. Its like when people say American Idol is not what itwhai used to be, but its a megashow, perhaps, you know. The people who are unplugging, i dont think outk number the people who are still signing on and using it. How many times have you been in a conversation and someone is i hate facebook. That kind of thing, so this new study that was conducted by the university of vienna found thati a lot ofen people are having second thoughts of leaving, not surprised there, but what is surprising is who are these people threatening to leave. They found its mostly anyone in their early 30s, like 31 versus the average user is 24. Average use certify 24. Cert it used t user is 24. It used object much, much younger, so 133 compared toared those who choose to stay, they have more than 300, and these people are the ones who tend to be more concerned about privacy. They tend to be more in relationships at this point in n their lives. That might be. B they dont want to get mess up on facebook. Face facebook is a wonderful toolf to connectul with people, old hh School Teachers and college professor. Theres a positive upside to up keeping up with facebook. I think you might hit at aitt good point. At some point it becomes less useful, necessary, you dontou want to be out there. Yeah. And a lot of people do go idle. I dont know if you everif yo noticed you log on and you try to search, if you search for heh name at the top, you cant find her profile anymore. But yet she will go idle for a few months and then boom all ofn a sudden its back to its normal page. So theres an option in there where you can go idle for a few months, maybe that is what you need is a break on facebook. It seems like we did a storya about that. Somebody was going to go dark and it was a person who had just gotten engaged or there was som sort of trust issue, im done. We reported on it. I dont know where it was news. It depends on what else is e going onls in your life. Ou if you are going through a tough period or a like you just had a baby or Something Like that,ke you might too busy for it. If you have a baby, you are up loading tons and tons of photos. The trend is growing, andgr theyre calling it web suicide. A lot of people are threatening to leave and i believe it. It. I hear it every day, but theyre not leaving. I know people who have left. Yeah. I know people who have left and never looked back. No more more people are doing it, thank you very much. We will see you in a littlei bit. Still to come a scary few hours at one of the nations airports find out what caused the massive evacuation and a number of n flight delays.
