Comment: Facebook Withdrawal

Got the Facebook DTs. I keep looking at the tabs on my browser and wondering where my fix is.

But overall I still stand by my decision some 24 hours later.

It just seems to me that you should live as much of your life LIVE and in PERSON as possible, as opposed to virtually. Sure, there’s a place for online interaction, but it shouldn’t dominate.

I really wonder what our kids’ social skills will be like as they grow older since they will likely spend so much time online or texting. What will it mean for society at large? Will we all speak in shorter sentences? Will “GR8” become the official spelling for “great”? Will all correspondence look like the title of an 80s Prince song?

Time will tell.
