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?

In the way of our legal system, "innocent until proven guilty," I believe that inherently people are trustworthy until they prove me wrong. I like to believe in the goodness of the human spirit.
