I goofed around in facebook for a few months to keep tabs on my adult daughters. Even that got old. I really tried to get into it but just couldn’t. I also could not stand all the farmville updates from people.
I haven’t been there in months and really have no need to go there. If I want to talk to someone I send an email or call. Posting stuff publicly is ridiculous.
I have set my router up to block it. I have an old friend or two I wouldn’t mind getting in touch with, but I waste enough time on the internet as it is. With Twitter and Facebook, pretty soon, everybody will know where everyone else is.
The upside is that if one wishes to become invisible, it may require nothing more than disconnecting the computer and putting the phone in a lead-lined box.
