Actually I hardly go on FB, and agree with a lot of what has been said, just my need to argue black when I know the issue is white, a balancing up of fairness. ;)
As Goff says you get what you put in, and I don't put my breakfast in, but I am curious about the internet phenomena and how the technology has leapt forward by leaps and bounds. My son is 28, at about 12 he was playing little simple white ball games on the computer,and viruses just tumbled the letters off your screen. Now we live in a large social interacting world, where Avaaz can ask to put a signature on what ever cause you need, viruses can screw your computer dead they are so complicated; Wikileaks and Wikipedia - power to the people...Good thing or bad? ;).. its a technical world, everyone can take a half decent photo (and some of course much better than others).
Virtual communities exist on line, so maybe FB is another form of interaction not all of it bad....

No, you're quite right, I'm sure it has lots of good points or it wouldn't be such a success. After all we domesticated primates are social animals, even me.

And besides, it would be fair comment to say what would I know about it because I don't even use it!

I'm just grumpy because I've spent the whole morning trying to fix my printer and am covered in ink. I think I have to accept the poor thing has had it. Bah.

Hi Moss,

Frightening how fast technology is moving. Todays necessity is tomorrows museum piece.
