When a friend first told me about Facebook, I was pretty skeptical about joining. In fact, I didn’t for well over a year. Then, when I did create an account, I, like many others, was hooked. It was incredible to catch up with people who I hadn’t heard from in 15 or 20 years. To be able to read a little about each person and see pictures of what they and their kids looked like – unbelievable.
But I wonder when enough is enough? I put plenty of information on my Facebook page, but I’m pretty hard to find. You either have to be “friends” with one of my “friends” or have gone to school with me at some point. Many other people put plenty of pictures on their pages, information and other material that they probably wouldn’t want their mothers to see – and yet, these are the people with hundreds, if not thousands of “friends.”
Have we become too secure posting things online? I’m not sure if that’s a little too paranoid or not – just wondering. There’s an old adage about not posting anything, texting or e-mailing anything that you wouldn’t want the world to see/read. I’m not saying I’m innocent of the offense – just that we all should probably be a little more careful. Right?
