Since my last posts, I have been frustrated by certain people I know who don't have a FB page (and should--one is a musician and presumably could get gigs. Wait! Have I ever gotten a gig via FB?) Also, I was wrong about my former BF--he has now deemed it safe to have a FB page, with friends and all. Yes! I even friended him, after I swore i was not stalking him but was merely in search of "information" about him. (As were the sinister beings on The Prisoner("You won't get it!" snarls Patrick McGoohan, a.k.a, Number Six.) Actually, I didn't use the word "information." I just said I was curious about what he was doing after all these years. He responded that he was self-employed and broke. Maybe there are some things you just don't want to know from FB.
Scientific research will soon reveal that FB makes depressed people more depressed. I am firmly convinced of it. People on the Unclutterer Forum are in favor of a weekly information blackout or unplugging. You know, no cell phone, TV, internet (which includes FB, Twitter, and other forms of social networking.) Some people even ban DVDs, magazines, and newspapers. Is this going a bit too far? I don't know. The surfeit of information to which we are daily being exposed is not healthy.
