I don't believe in staying "connected" to people through Facebook and similar. If you're a friend or a family member, I will see you in person or make a phone call. People seem to have forgotten how to communicate with the people they care about. I'm not anti-technology or against leaning new things. I'm against stupefying the human race. Staring at stupid info about people's lives that you don't really care about isn't healthy. Thinking your silly posts about what you ate for dinner, actually matters to people that weren't there, is a bit self-indulgent. Plus I don't want my kids seeing me spend so much time in the virtual world. I'd rather spend my free time with them. When they are old enough to go online by themselves, I don't want them making mistakes like putting too much of their own personal info out there. I see too many parents spending way too much time staring at their phones all day long instead of enjoying their kids. How do you think their kids will act when they get older? We are raising a generation of zombies.
OK I'm done. Next person in line for the soapbox.
