social media & sociometry (and FACEBOOK)

[Jen]

I think that some people could overdo facebook, and that could get in
the way of more creative satisfying pursuits.  But isn't that true of
many pleasures -- television, alcohol, ice cream, sex.  Maybe excess is the problem, not the facebook (or Desperate Housewives or Haagen Daas) itself. 

There's the issue of people overtrusting people they don't know with facebook and the like, as in teens who hook up with untrustworthy people via internet.  But that's another question altogether.

The fact that some people misuse an activity does not mean the activity is completely bad.

 How true ,Jen,  all relationships start from  periphery to center..from supperficial , tentative to close and intimate.

I was thinking of the time factor: the only thing we have in limited supply and  therefore  need to  budget it, preferably not carelessly ...   so with more choices available -more need for discernment....
However the discussion makes me question my reluctance to actively engage with facebook,and the like.
