facebook

I have recently linked my blog to my facebook account. This is a huge step in the electronic evolution for me as I am fairly inept in these matters. Once upon a time you needed to be a talented thinker or writer to have your thoughts and feelings seen by other people in the form of books or other publications. Now anyone can reveal their thoughts to the world through the facebook, myspace, twitter or blogging communities. While there may be some negatives to this new freedom, overall it is a fantastic way to rebuild our eroding sense of community. Society is setup in such a way that the individual is the ultimate pillar holding up all things. This break down of interdependance on one another leads to lonliness, isolation and despair. These online tools provide an avenue to community which has the potential to be the beginning of renewing community in all of our lives.
