Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
I read recently that email is becoming the old technology. Then in a discussion with a friend about Facebook he mentioned that email was maybe going out of style.
I've resisted the Facebook trend but sometimes wonder if I'm missing the picture here. Don't want to hear from old high school friends or people who cannot be bothered to call me. Although I admit to mostly getting email regarding upcoming get togethers.
Watched our son the other day bring up his Facebook page to show us his college friends having the usual party times. While he was on it he got an instant message stream from a friend coming home for the holidays. It was all like text messaging with very little content -- but maybe a bit lacking in content because he told his friend that his parents were watching the computer screen with him .
I worked in Silicon Valley for many years and feel a little manipulated by those smart people ... you know, gotta have technology and applications. Sort of have a love/hate relationship with technology.
Is this a bad attitude? What's so great about Facebook? What capabilities does it have beyond broadcasting to an audience you choose.
Oh no, am I becoming a tech dinosaur?
