A person by the name of Maxime Luere decided to make a short film that depicts the life of an individual named Alex Droner through Facebook's interface. The video is fake, but it's a humorous approach on what it would be like if we were to watch someone's life through social networking.
The video starts off with Alex logging into Facebook and adding friends. Then we watch his life unravel to The Rolling Stones 'Paint It Black' as he adds more friends and make changes to his relationship and emotional status with pictures corresponding to the status. Eventually, through his photos and updates, we watch him get married, have kids, and age into an old man, which is when he finally logs out. Makes you wonder if you'll still be as addicted to Facebook when you're old.
