The Jury is Still Out

Hello fellow e-travelers. I am back! I am sure that many of my regular readers may have thought that I dropped out of this course, but the truth is, I just couldn't find my password to get onto my blog. I tried using the Forgot Your Password feature, but that only works if you know the email account you registered with!

But I am back and ready to report on my Facebooking experience. Some people would consider me old. I don't really think that, but let's just say that I have been around a long time; long enough to remember having a "party-line" telephone. Since I am quite comfortable with email and picking up the phone to talk to someone I want to connect with, getting a Facebook account was not high on my priority list. Despite the fact that most of my extended family is on FB regularly I did not feel the need. When they felt that I needed to know something in particular, they picked up the phone or dropped me an email. I didn't need FB to be kept in the loop.

Now that I have an account, I know what is going on with everyone in my family. I know what some had for dinner and I know that my youngest sister is always on line. I realize that my mother likes everything, and that my cousin expresses and SHARES her inner most thoughts and feelings freely.... too freely for my liking! I also realize that I could become quite addicted to reading what everyone has posted on other people's FB walls. I know that they post those things willingly, but I feel like I am lurking in the shadows and eavesdropping. I realize though, that if I can do this, other people can do it too! That is the part that I don't like. I like my privacy and sharing what I want shared, not what others mind sharing.

For right now the jury is still out. I will keep the account for the time being, but won't look to hard if I loose that password.

Until the next post .... Enjoy your travels.
