I have one more thing to say about facebook. As much as I love the ability to virtually connect with a global community I have some serious reservations about a couple of things on here. It makes me wonder who, and why. Who is it that makes up all those self analyzing tests? And why ? I mean they are a good way to find out exactly what kind of cereal you would be if you were in fact cereal, or what kind of candy bar, or what famous person in history, those are all things that Ive wanted to know but never had the right kind of test to find out. The one I really dont want to take is the where I should live test. This one could be bad, Im afraid that if it tells me I should be living in the country I would be faced with a life question, why am I not where I am supposed to be ?
I guess, its a good thing to get to know yourself better, and let others in on who you are, it would also be a helpful device if this was around a decade from now and we could take these tests again. How much have we changed ? Am I as crunchy as I used to be, am I still the novelist I thought I was? It could be helpful in our old age , escpecially for the under 30 set, you have a lifetime of self discovery ahead, and thank goodness for facebook and all those quizzes that let you see who you really are. So I think I have the why down, but the who is still lingering out there with all my other conspiracy theories, isnt this all very public information? So the world knows Im soft and smushy vs crunchy, not really a big deal, Unless....its all a plot to profile us then Im in trouble because the crunchy ones are better I'm sure of it. And, Im not sure of this but when you get a gadget like a plant or join a hatchling thing arent you giving someone your contact information? I suppose facebook has that as public info anyway, or are you then opening yourself up to a lot more spam ? Be careful out there citizens .
Joe isnt on facebook he usually doesnt sit still long enough, but when I showed him all the little quizzes and tests you could take, he thought it was stupid, which doesnt really surprise me, those who arent in the club just dont get it .
