I just reactivated my Facebook page (my kids nagged me into it) and scrolling through it was quite an experience.  Do people really need to post every single thing they do?  And the constant selfies!  One old friend posted 16 in one day.  She's not a kid; she's in her mid forties and  just average looking but there she is ....in short shorts, tight dresses, low cut blouses in her car.  What?  I think this world has gone crazy.  I'm curious if it's just people I know or is this common to post pictures of yourself ad nauseum? This article makes some valid points.

Pfft, you should all get off facebook (Farcebook as I call it) now.. it's not about you .... it's all about Me Me Meeee.

 

I have only just opened a facebook account, and i think all I tend to post is pictures I take and the occasional news story or you tube link. Like all media it can be fun bt it is amazing the strangers who want to add you and what they post.

I am not into the selfie thing at all.  My cellphone is from 2001 and doesn't do selfies given that the camera doesn't work.  I am still using the ancient phone because I am just about the last person who uses a phone as a phone and this phone does the one thing I need a phone to do. 

 

I remember a time when people would have considered selfies to be vain and narcissistic.   If a man was seen constantly taking pictures of himself all of the time, he would have been written off as a conceited, self-centered jerk.   He would have been the brunt of jokes and such.   Today, that very same guy is considered to be on the cutting edge of social media and trendy.

People took photos of themselves with cameras...they saw them developed..then the slides and everyone had to see them if they visited the home...now everyone sees them around the world. Personally...I refuse to go on Facebook. People put pics of children for stangers to see and have no idea that they can be traced to the city, town and street by a predator. Does it make sense??
