i have fb. or sefer panim as my friend calls it. i got it when i started NS. besides family, its classmates from school, a friends MIL (she wanted to show me pics), and some friends from camp/hs…
i am very careful about security and privacy. if a ‘friend’ has a number of posts i don’t like, i hide their comments or unfriend them. did it to a few. and you don’t have to answer every request.if you set it right, a person doing a search cannot find you. only friends of friends can find me via search.
i use it mostly to see how my friends in MS are doing. i’m in (was) in OB. so when they comment abt a pt, etc we can do some catching up. funny pics, comments from class, commiserating together, its a way to relax and know your all in the same boat together. i might post the fruedian (sp?) slip the teacher made, a pic of my younger sister. do i do s/t and think “this is going on FB later”? no i don’t. i have a life outside my computer. (even if that life is taken up by nursing school)
i dont get why people look at one thing and say its a write off.
life has grey areas, its not just black and white. it depends how you use it
