I find it fascinating that the next generation is into posting stuff on myspace and facebook and then is surprised that people use it to keep up with their adventures. They call it stalking and "creepy" when all you are doing is simply taking the public information they have posted and use it to discover what is going on. Question is: why post the stuff if you think people aren't going to use the information? Do they just think its like something in a museum that you just look at and go on to the next piece? Maybe some folks just "window shop" in museums and rush on to the next but there are others who look at a display; read the accompanying text - ask themselves questions; etc.
But to express surprise that people are actually using the information posted on social sites really is unexpected and incongruous. Maybe they aren't as wired in to the "information age" as they really think they are..
Being left-handed my mind works in strange ways since I have to use both sides to function in a right-handed world. Perhaps thru this I might even understand how it works.
