Food´s pictures - Boredom in Facebook 

- Who has not seen a photo of a plate of food on facebook?

- What have you thought about it?

- He has given you jealous or just have repudiated the person who uploaded it?

"Websurfing" is a phenomenon by which we share our experiences, as well as the experiences of our friends, which can be positive or negative. We need to regard as an ideation of social experience realized that is often enough through subsequent sharing and asynchronous shared experiences.

Wittkower says in "Boredom on facebook", We can share our experience and thus make it an experience of boredom-alongside, Allowing us to find our current boredom not as empty time under the tedious meaningless of which we suffer, but as time wasted along with others: leisure but purposelessly well spent.  "We can see a kind of performative confirmation of These claims in the much-derided practice of photographing pictures of your lunch."

But I would like launch the next question, have real success these photos that are uploaded to facebook, or are of a negative value to get your own person?

Here it goes my opinion

There are many things that bother us on Facebook, such as the advertising that appears repeatedly, or the new songs that have added our friends at Spotify. But every day we are seeing the most annoying element, that is the photos of food. No one can understand the need of people to climb to facebook food photographs.

Restaurants use advertising to make people be hungry. I do not know the motives behind people who post pictures of food of Facebook, but it accomplishes the same goal. There's nothing quite like taking a study break fot go an extra twenty minutes because i saw a picture of pizza on Facebook and then needed a snack.

According Wittkower , if we upload these photos to facebook, we are doing an experience of boredom-alongside. But in my view "Food pictures" do absolutely nothing for anyone, Besides That the person posted it. There's nothing more anyone can do with that picture other than wonder when their next meal will come.
