No Smoking Area: No Facebook Area

Facebook users need to learn the same etiquette smokers have had to learn to use.  There was a time when smoking was allowed just about everywhere and nobody objected to breathing second hand smoke.  Now the potential dangers of smoke are more understood.  Plus, nobody likes to reek of ashtrays.  Thankfully, those days prolific smoking are long gone.  Smokers have learned to curb their habit to where it will not cause discomfort to others. 

Facebook users take note.  When social media was in its infancy people did not quite understand the consequences of having personal information blasted into cyberspace.  It's not only your own personal information, it's the personal information of friends, family, etc. users "tag" at events.   Now people are getting the hint that there is a huge database they can't erase despite benign intentions. 

Which brings me to a personal dilemma.  I'm planning a party in the near future.  I want to make it a Facebook free zone.  I know it's rude to instruct guests of manners, but I'm wondering how I can get the message out that I don't want ANY references posted to Facebook AT ALL.  There are certain guests who will be here that I love dearly, but their constant posting of everything they are doing makes me uneasy.    Do I say in the invitation, "Please do not use social media at my home?"  Do I post a sign at the door?  I don't want to be rude to my guests, but I like my privacy.  I don't want the world knowing I'm hosting a party, who all was there, and what we were doing. 

And.... for what it's worth.... I don't use social media nor email to send invitations.  They go out snail mail. 

Internet Privacy - Social Networking for Kids

You all gave your kids the tool of the devil.  Now you're bitching about that iPhone and Johnny's self-destructive pics and posts on Facebook.    Trying to control teens and social networking sites by implementing privacy controls is like shoveling against the tide.  You think you have privacy?  HA!!!! 

It's only going to get worse.  It's not just your idiot 'friends' tagging you and posting to social media every time you go out complete with pics and location. Now many public places are implementing cameras that capture the demographics and faces of their customers complete with face recognition software (for safety, advertising and marketing purposes, of course).

Here is where I think the Islamic religion is right in having women cover their faces when out in public.  I think we all will be covering our faces pretty soon.......

Meaningless Facebook Posts

My finger is getting ever closer to hitting the "delete" button on my Facebook account.  I think I'll use my middle finger while I'm at it.  I just can't stomach it anymore.  I'm not making this stuff up.  I actually pulled this off of my account.  If you stay on Facebook please, PLEASE do us all a favor and NEVER post crap like:

Seriously!  Facebook has become so trite.  The only purpose it now serves is that it is a data mine for corporations to exploit and sell all your personal information that you gladly and freely post to brag to the world.  Your ego is selling you out!
