I am a frequent user of Facebook, and a lot of my friends have been making comments and statuses on “planking”. Apparently this is the new trend, but I am completely lost and have no idea what planking means. According to the San Francisco International Business Times, planking is defined as a game where people, known as plankers, lie down on the ground and post a picture of it on an online community such as Facebook. To plank you must lay down face down in an unusual place with your palms attached to your side.
From the little research I have done on this topic, I find that it is very simple and not as important as I once thought it was. Also, while doing research I found that some people actually view this game as dangerous because people have fallen off a balcony and died because of it. Some have even been caught at work planking, and have been suspended. For further details on planking visit this website.
