Good article. I can relate to ‘mindless facebooking.’ At our house we’ve enlisted the aid of a program that turns our internet access off after 10pm. It makes it so much easier to turn our focus back onto the things in our life that are most important, namely not Facebook.

Hi,
I totally agree! I find FB distracting and time consuming! I also find that people put TMI on the site. One gal was communicating w/ a friend and said she had a wild weekend in Vegas and called in sick on Monday – the attorney read her site and it didn’t go over very well….

I love FB for connecting with friends! But how correct you are about the addiction and distraction. Last summer after my surgery I used FB as a diversion to my imposed bedrest status. It quickly became an addiction. After I was released to return to activity, I found it difficult to pull myself back to reality. But the time spent on a virtual farm and spending virtual money was robbing me of days in my real life. I quit cold turkey. I still keep in touch with friends but limit my access and the time is spent to catch up with the “bunch.”
