Facebook as a Board Game?
Graphic designer Pat C. Klein created Facebook: The Board Game to “persuade people to stop using the internet forever.”
He explains:
As a young person living in the digital age, I feel as though the internet is affecting our ability to communicate with one another. Research done by Stanford University has indicated that social networking sites like Facebook can increase loneliness, depression and insecurity. Facebook: The Board Game was created as a response to this. The idea is that instead of engaging with Facebook on your computer or phone, you can arrange to meet up with friends, have a few drinks and play in real life.
I suppose if you’re playing a board game, at least you’re being social and interacting with humans. What do you think?
