Insidious Technological Decline

[Colwyn]

I have agreed to Chair a campaign group fighting property developers who want to build on a local environmental and wildlife conservation area. This has required me joining Facebook (aaargh!). I am already getting messages from people of whom I have never heard who want to be my "Friends". Now I am told I have to be on Twitter as well. Soon I'll be photographing what I had for dinner last night and asking people if I can borrow their fluffy kittens for cutesy pictures. Anything else I should know? Should I be ganging up on folk and bullying them; or selling p0rnography; stuff like that? I want to fit in, of course.

You will need to rake out old embarrassing photographs of your family and post them.

Make sure you take part in all the quizzes that you get invited to take part in, and publish the results on your page, and invite all your "friends" to take part.

Invite as many of your "friends" as possible to play Candy Crush, Bubblewitch Saga and Pet Rescue.

Join the "I hate The Eagles" page.

DON'T rake out any old and embarassing photographs of Highlander. Facebook is already awash with them.

I am like you Colwyn, knew nothing of Facebook until I was invited to join in and help the fight for the Dolphins kept at Hisaronu.   I joined up and although there are negatives, I quite like the chat and images of friends and family and have joined things like BBC News which brings updates and news flashes and some interesting articles.

Thank you, these comments are most helpful. Now I have a question. So far I have just been deleting requests ti be "Friends". But what happens then? Do these people get a message saying "Colwyn doesn't want to be friends with you"? I don't really want to be rude - some of these people are my neighbours or family.

[KKOB]

No need to worry Colwyn, they just get a message that says " Colwyn thinks you're a *****, now **** off and get a life".

Depends how well you get on with your friends and family. !!!

Now what have The Eagles ever done to you ?? ;-)

It would seem that you will need to post "Selfies" Most of my FB friends seem to do this a lot. Myself.....I have resisted the urge. No selfie stick in this house.

You can get one very cheaply on Ebay, via your facebook page , of course !!
