Making the Most of It

So, I signed up for Facebook this week. It's something that I said I would probably never do. But there I am. Kind of interesting. Met some people from my past that I hadn't seen or heard from for years. This phenomenon seems to have some interesting implications. For example, in the past - even a couple of years ago, connecting with someone would have taken considerable effort. Now you can be reconnected even inadvertently.

The downside can be that people can misrepresent themselves. I suppose that you could mess with people in person, but I think it just might be more difficult. Some say this electronic way of connecting and networking is not 'valid' or 'real'. Others say it is.

What do you think?
