Social Networking (Or Not)

Is my brain in there somewhere?
Okay, I know.  I belong to that "other" generation now.  You know that baby boomer generation that is a product of the post WWII boom.  I've heard it said "how old would you be if you didn't know your age"?  Yes, I dig it and I get it, but what I don't get are these social networking sites on the world wide web that are supposed to be so user friendly.  I think when that web was being spun my brain got caught up with the bugs and was devoured!

I joined Tweeter (oops, it's Twitter and tweet is what you do on Twitter),  I joined Facebook and, obviously, I joined this blog site.  However when I try to tweek my profile information on Twitter and face-off the information I get on Facebook, I cannot follow or get what in the world wide web what they want!

I have tried several times to post my profile picture on Twitter but it does not like the size of my photos.  I have tried to edit the information I get on Facebook but they keep coming back like that damn spot in the Poe story.   It is a conspiracy I tell you.  They don't want us B.B.'s here.  Push like if you agree with me!
 

I wouldn't feel so stupid if I hadn't been a part of this computer boom.  Back when I was a professional in the world,  I worked with the newest and best office equipment that was available.  I was sent to numerous training classes at places like IBM and the IT departments where I worked.  I learned many new software programs that made our jobs easier.  It was exciting days back then.  Kind of like "look Pa there's land in them thar computers".   Well, not quite like that but kinda, sorta.


If your pulling one these stay in the
slow lane so we don't make them mad!



I like blogging and I like seeing what's going on in the world.  I also think it is very sweet that these sites are offered to us for free.  However, I really think it is a plot to get rid of us "others".  You know, us other than the 20 and 30 somethings.  Maybe we are driving too slow on the information highway and are getting in their way. 





So to appease the ones behind the flasing cursors, I suggest we hang in there, muddle along and act like we know what we are doing.  Stay in the right lane, take power naps and hit like on everything you read.  That way they will think we know what we are doing and maybe, just maybe, they will stop sending those stupid "error" messages all the time.

Love and peace to you all.
