Facebook is the Devil
Posted: Thu Apr 12, 2012 7:15 pm
Recent events have gotten me to start thinking about what we share about ourselves and those around us on the internet.
Then I came across this Youtube video about Facebook.
You might think I'm joking here and certainly the people who made this video have their tongues solidly in their cheeks. And the points, while delivered with a wink and a nod, are valid.
Even in our insular little online community here at Lazlo, there are things we share publicly that perhaps we shouldn't. Sometimes things are also left out that shouldn't be.
I think that after some review that a lot of grief can be saved if we take care in posting. Think, then type is probably the best advice I can offer. This is especially important in such a small and tight knit community as the Lazlo Society. We don't want to inadvertantly upset those who are important to us or are part of our extended family.
Also bare in mind that for all that is shown publicly, sometimes there are layers under the surface that should be considered as well.
After all, it's incredibly easy to create a fake facebook account or even lie on a real one.
In this modern age it can be tough both to discern the truth while paradoxically sharing too much at the same time. Hopefully the digital age hasn't robbed us of our ability to be understanding of one another and to both apologize and offer forgiveness when each is required.
