Internet points.....likes, fabs, winks,retweets etc etc
Are we becoming obsessed with it? We can't even disappear to a quiet spot for tranquillity without posting it to Instagram for approval? Do we really need the attention to be happy?
Heck am I posting this to see how many replies I get? 
Do you seek internet points? |

On a Facebook app a buddy of mine messaged me and said "You have over a million points!".
I told him I'd given a few million away in buying gifts and he should look at how many the really hot women have.
They don't mean anything to me. |

Studies have shown that people are increasingly experiencing a dopamine rush, just be posting on social media and anticipating the responses. Essentially social media addiction is real and rife.
Personally I'm not convinced it's such a bad thing, I think you need to factor in the quality of what's being posted. If you're excited to see the number of likes you get by posting a picture of your dinner for the 8th time this week, then you might want to take a look at yourself. If you're excited to discuss something of significance with strangers who may off insights you hadn't considered, i think that's a good thing. |

By tagging people, them tagging you, sending kisses etc, giving hugs, sending and receiving messages. Any action gets you pints. As a woman on there who has several stalkers I get points quickly when I go on the app.
You can use points to buy virtual gifts. |

"I dont even know what internet points are. I have no intention of sharing my whole life with people"
I thought he meant pic fabs etc. There aren't actual internet points for using the internet. |

Imagine you have a good idea. How would you know it's a good idea unless you post it on Facebook and have other people you've met twice in the last 10 years, validate it for you?
You get 1 point for a Facebook like. 2 points if you write something on fab and people put an  after it and 3 points if you get a retweet on Twitter. |

A bit like green shield stamps, with no kettle at the end. |

It's only on the tagging apps I've been on. I don't join in on the league tables on them. I don't care who has been sent the most hearts this week. |

We post loads of pictures on here and allow fabs so I suppose we must seek internet points. Are they like nectar cards? 
I think the net has magnified many human qualities and attention seeking is just one. |
