So, I probably spend an hour a day updating and reading and posting on Facebook. I started a page and group for my church. It takes time but after this week I'm convinced. Facebook may reduce face to face communication, but somehow it still helps people connect and cooperate.
Two posts in particular caught my eye. The first was how one person needed help and had not just one person respond but two. Sweet! And the other actually wasn't really a post at all. It was a comment on the street, face to face, from someone who took an extra minute to tell me just how much the site helps that person feel a part of things.
I like technology generally, but I have to admit that at times I worry about becoming isolated through over-use. Today I worry a little less than I did a week ago.
