Excellent comparison. I'm looking forward to pressing some piano keys of my own tomorrow. The tuner (thank goodness, and at long last) comes at 9:00.Elaine Finehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14248422399226824168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10680113.post-70757716304444985112013-08-18T21:10:03.688-05:002013-08-18T21:10:03.688-05:00I too have been thinking a lot about pros and cons...I too have been thinking a lot about pros and cons of the Facebook culture. It's certainly not a deepening experience. Your analogy to a party or movable feast is perfect! Facebook certainly doesn't lend itself to the introspective personality type. But it is wonderful for staying in touch with long lost friends and family members. <br /><br />I wonder how the shallowness and superficiality of the "Look at me, look at what I can do, notice me, 'like' me and I'll 'like' you" inundation will ultimately affect society as a whole. Narcissists are us.<br /><br />I agree with you also that summers which may seem low key or less active might, in fact, be the most productive. For example, I have been home this entire summer diligently practicing the piano! It feels better to press those piano keys than simply the like button on Facebook, that's for sure. <br /><br /> Marjorie Kransberg-Talvihttp://mktalvi.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
