Hello Facebook!

So I've finally put myself on Facebook, and immediately found myself back in contact with an old school friend. It's great to be in touch after 26 years! Certainly puts those years into a new perspective. No kidding.

She made an interesting comment, about being surprised to see me there. Interesting, because I kind of felt the same way. What was someone from my old school doing on Facebook? And then - why the hell WOULDN'T someone from my old school be there? It's not something you could describe as eclectic or obscure.

I realised that I have this notion in my head that all my contemporaries at school as belonging to the pre-computer/internet era. If I met any of them I'd probably be assuming unconsciously that they weren't particularly computer literate. This of course is no big deal. However, it does make me wonder what else I've been assuming about my erstwhile school mates. And all sorts of other people, come to that.

I'm looking forward to getting some more interesting revelations from being part of Facebook.
