Can Someone Explain Facebook/Twitter?

[shootingstar]

For me it was just really boring, I didn't care that my cousin (who I haven't seen in 20 years) just put a cake in the oven. My stay-at-home-mom cousins posted every detail of their day, all day, and seemed to be offended if I didn't respond often enough.

So, for me, it just wasn't worth my time. Others feel differently and they stay on FB, different strokes.

This type of vicarious detailed knowledge of my loved ones and vice versa would actually drive each other nuts/frustrate one another. It works when some families using older technology, phoned each other to talk about daily events several times per wk.

But we weren't even like that when I lived in the same city with my family and friends with regular telephone. I was in contact with any family member about every 2-3 wks. when I lived in the same city. I guess I belong in a family of independent happy and loved loners.

Heck, my dearie and I still haven't gotten around to cellphone just for 2 of us. Now it's a cost issue that neither of us want to bear given that we have to budget more tightly.
