Yearbooks? Facebook!

September 6, 2009 · Posted in Musings 

I found an old acquaintance yesterday on Facebook. I went to high school with him in Pennsylvania and now he lives a few miles away from me here in Georgia. It was kind of odd and I had faint memories of him so I was talking with my wife and mentioned that I had to check my year book to bring up old memories. At which point my wife told my daughters you’ll always want to keep your year books!???

It struck me exactly how useless yearbooks will become with Facebook and other social networking applications. My kids will have contact with everybody they ever knew connected on Facebook and be able to recall all conversations, pictures, wall posts, and any other meaningless dribble that occurred during their high school years. What a change from the snapshot memories we are able to recall.
