More and more I think that Facebook (or “offyourfacebook” as my mate Sean calls it) is going to be the root of some sort of global technical catastrophe for its 500+ million users and their “friends”, with probably devastating flow-on effects for the rest of society too. John Wyndam’s metaphor laden “Day of the Triffids” was written pre-modern technology, but I do wonder if Facebook has the capacity to infiltrate and impact society at a level no-one can predict or comprehend, just as the meteor shower blinded us, and the Triffids moved into our territory.
The warnings are being given in the media, maybe none are alarming when isolated, but combined they make the little bells go off in my naturally suspicious mind.
Facebook at your peril I say.
Intelilgence and simplicity – easy to understand how you think.
