What would it be like if Facebook was played out in real life? Watch this funny video clip and find out!

In 2008, ”Idiots of Ants”, a London based comedy group, made a funny sketch for BBC’s The Wall about how Facebook would look in real life. The sketch has so far been viewed about 3,5 million times on YouTube. It is certainly exaggerated, but the translation of online reality into actual reality serves as an excellent illustration of the possible effects of sharing personal and sensitive information on the popular social networking website.

What happens if someone is out to blackmail you or your child, and misuse your personal information? How careful are you and your family with the publication of sensitive information and pictures of yourselves and others?

Just press the play button at the top of the right hand column, and enjoy the clip!
