Yesterday we discussed the good the bad and the ugly about social networking sites like Facebook, Bebo MySpace, etc.
There are great opportunities for communication with people far away.
There is also the temptation to live 'through the lens' of the computer monitor. Accepting limited contact with humans as a substitiute for real relationships, in real time.
Everyone has been spammed or slammed at onetime or another by people we wouldnt normally be in contact with if it weren't for the global phenomenon of net-life.
Not every friend IS a friend indeed.
It seems like we all can get caught up in the ease of communication in blurbs and tweets.
Some acknowledged seing/'hearing' things they could have lived their entire lives without ever knowing! The group acknowledged the possible dangers of casting off the common sense precautions with 'strangers' just because its online.
We agreed that boundaries are needed online just like in real life.
Simple.
