On Facebook, Everything Old is New Again

Facebook is a great connector of people from different parts of your life. You can go way back to the cradle, or to elementary, high school and college, and connect with acquaintances and friends from a bygone era.

Social media is responsible for this shift in consciousness where everything old is new again. Communities are tightening, becoming closer knit -- just like communities of the agricultural and industrial ages. In those days, neighbors would monitor each others' activities by peeking through lace covered windows. After that the news would spread like wildfire all over town.

Does this remind you of the status bar "What are you doing now" on Facebook and Twitter? How about viewing your friends' status on the home page of your profile? It's a window to what's going on in everyone's lives.

I'm having great fun connecting with old buddies and catching up,  Want to share some of your connecting stories? Click on comments button below.
