I am quite happy to know that others are as addicted to Facebook as me and, as such, decided it was worthy of giving up for Lent.
To commemorate my last day sans FB, meet Kevin Shine A 39 year old firefighter who also gave it up...funny stuff.
Mr. Shine sounds a bit bewildered as he says this, as though he can't quite believe he's in this fix. Social networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace are far more popular among teens and college students. Nearly half of all 18-to-24 year olds visit such sites at least daily, compared to just 13% of Internet users overall, according to the Pew Research Center.
But a significant population of adults has also been hooked. They start by looking up old friends or flames. They scroll through co-workers' online photo albums. They post random tidbits about their days. Mr. Shine recently found himself telling all 157 of his online "friends" about the vomit a stray dog left on his porch
ps...when did old people take over FB? Remember when you had to be in college? Not hating...just wondering:-)
