I am NOT a Facebook junkie. It is funny, I’ve had a facebook profile for over a year, but since my family has gone nuts over it I finally updated mine and started tinkering with it. It IS fun. And interesting.
I find it interesting how people relate to each other online. Our need for relationship can be easily fulfilled ONLINE. And, ALL of my facebook “friends” are people I see every week at church, I do actually have REAL FRIENDSHIPS with these folks. For several years people have talked about the dangers of coccooning, of reverting back into our homes and having no actual contact with the outside world. I can see that as a danger, but I really get a kick out of tinkering with facebook and talking to people I see several times a week!!! Nothing wrong with that!!
The only other BIG danger is that I would spend too much time online and not enough time with my family . . . You know, Dana, Kelly, and Dirk.
