Grateful Challenge - Day Two (Challenged by Susan Newman) 1. Im grateful for Facebook, which allows me glimpses of lives being led by nearly 800 people, all of whom I find interesting for one reason or another. I dont get people who say theyd never want so many FB friends because its all so shallow or whatever. The human condition, and shared news, fascinates me. 2. Im also grateful for those critics of Facebook who call out every new change in its operations that erodes any privacy we have here, which is little, or sets us up for being marketed to incessantly. Informed consent is good, key word informed. 3. Im also grateful to those friends who occasionally take a vacation from Facebook and announce it and stick to it for whatever period they do. Social media addiction is real, and worth discussing, and worth standing up to in ones life if its threatening to take over. BTW, my challenges end with the two I issued on Day One, one of them being to Christine Johanns. This is not a chain letter thing, at least not for me. Im not issuing the challenge to 10 people so they can then challenge 10 each who challenge 10 each so eventually the entire world is made safe for gratitude. That would indeed be shallow. There, Ive said it.
