Are you on Facebook?
That’s what everyone wants to know. So after much pressuring, I joined Facebook, the biggest social networking program thus far.
But did I like it? No. I felt like people were prying into my life, tracking who I knew what I did who my friends were. I did not like it. So I stopped all participation.
Recently, I was invited to join a group of my old school. I felt like a voyeur as I scrolled through pages of familiar names and faces. I am tempted to join up but it would mean opening myself up to the rest of the world. Letting them poke through my list of friends and wrestling with the social obligation to add them to your list of friends and to participate.
Honestly I cannot be bothered. And so I haven’t joined up. I’m curious about some of them, but I know all too well the horrors the internet can unleash and I’m not ready to be part of that yet.
