Facebook always depressed me and I never used it. The study raises an interesting question though. Are people really depressed or do they use opportunities for interaction predominantly to unload their troubles? Do we humans find greater solidarity with others through acknowledgement of shared trials or shared triumphs?
I mostly go for my “secret” photography group. I have met some interesting folks in the “real” world through a FB introduction. It is what one makes it.
I have also gotten into some humdinger “debates” (using a polite term for it) and the outcome was not so great.
Ah, such is the real world. I think of it as a cyber world “party line.”
I like “Tard.” 🙂
