Several years ago, I cannot even remember now exactly when, a couple of friends dragged me, kicking and screaming, into signing up for FB and I still have that account, but I don’t post anything personal on it — my life is not filled with family and friends and lots of gatherings and events — and I’m sure not interested in posting there every time I do anything or have a meal either at home or somewhere else (nor am I interested in posting images of my activities or meals either there or on Instagram — but FB does come in handy once in a while for knowing how far-flung family members or friends are doing. Emails, texts and phone calls also serve the same purpose and are much more personal, of course. More recently, I’ve found the FB groups function to be useful for some of the topics in which I’m interested, so that is where I spend my time when I go into FB. Some days I forget to check FB altogether, as it’s not of key importance to me, and that’s fine as far as I’m concerned. I much prefer web-based discussion forums such as MR and Nikon Cafe.
