I used to be a computer nerd, until times passed me by. Started out on the line printer & mainfraim with handset 300 baud cradle back in school. We all fought for the 13cps printer, faster than the 2 10cps printers. No monitors back then, reams of computer paper....
Love forums like this, and email.
Never got into Myspace, Facebook, Twitter, and I hate cellphones, don't have one and resist the idea strongly.
Facebook seems interesting just to keep up with friends and family across the world; but I don't care to update my info and 'friending' folks seems fraught with a certain pecking order I would surely screw up and upset people, so I've not even tried.
I heard once Facebook was to tell lies about yourself to close friends; and Twitter was for telling the truth about your day to total strangers. Thought that was kinda funny.
On the serios side; The whole computer world is going to 'cloud based' stuff, where all your data and info is out there somewhere on someone's server. I'm not comfortable emailing tax stuff to my accountant, or using hard drive backup programs that are 'net-based. Seems like possession is 9/10ths of the law, so those companies all have legal mumbo jumbo they can harvest info about me from such things? Think once that is the only way computers work any more, we will all be in for a rude awakening of what little rights we have any more.....
