The Face of Things To Come

Earlier today, I relented and set up a Facebook account. This may very well be my first foray into technology that I do not understand. The reason I opened the account is because I have a niece that is studying in New Zealand. I discovered that she is on Facebook and concluded that the easiest way to get in contact with her was by means of Facebook.

Within a couple of minutes of setting up my Facebook account and asking my niece for permission to be added as one of her Facebook "friends", I had a reply from her. We exchanged quite a few Facebook communications. I must be getting older since I posted a message to her in an area that wasn't meant for messages. My niece kidded me about that - sort of like how I kidded my parents when they could not figure out how to use the remote for the VCR. In spite of my gaffe, my journey into the world of Facebook has been pleasant due to the ease of making contact with my niece.
