It is not because they want to join the bandwagon in regards to another social fad. Facebook is something that has created a new realm in the way the world keeps in contact with each other. It is easy to use and it reaches across all borders, making no wrong step.
I have been in heated argument recently with Anton Brcic.. One of the lads that currently lives in Dunedin. Over the years, he has furiously denied to get a Facebook, without really providing any real excuse for his actions.
He explains that he does not want to be part of the Bandwagon, however his actions are now at a point where one may consider him to be a social introvert if he carries on this way. People cannot communicate with him efficiently, he misses out on news and events and he is always way behind the conversation when everybody else brings up a conversation in person- there have been many times when he has had to be told that if he had Facebook he would know what we are talking about at that time.
I decided to get into this a bit deeper, the scientific side of this. Surely, I may think he is being a knob about this, but there must be some psychological reasoning behind this?
Introversion (from Lat. Intros - "inside" and vertere - "seek") - a notion introduced by Carl Gustav Jung in the work of Psychologische Typen (Psychological Types, 1921). In psychology, it means a personality trait involving a tendency to drive one's perceptions, actions, thoughts and emotions inside, resulting in reduced interest in activity directed to the outside world.
Therefore, I can now call him a retard with good reason.
