within one generation of today, i predict something really bad is going to happen to someone who dumps their private personal life onto the internet without giving a moment's thought to where and who has access to that information. i've seen my employer use fb to decline employment applications. i've used fb to look at and jerk off to string bikini pictures of female coworkers. fb is dangerous because the privacy settings are difficult to configure and confusing. i can look at pictures of people that aren't my friend simply because they tag my friend in an album. people can tell when you're home alone, when you're away from home on vacation, when you get up (first dumb-ass tweet about your day) and when you go to bed. i think posting your life on the internet gives people the false sense that their life matters because someone "likes" it or "comments" on it. the fact is, if someone pulled the plug tomorrow on this whole internet thing we'd all be a lot better off.
Is it normal today not to have facebook?
