Good to read from you!
All good poi...salaam Babak! Good to read from you!<br />All good points. My decision to leave FB was based on a very personal need. I needed selected news and information, not everything from every corner of the world on any topic and with any opinion. I agree with logical benefits of FB; as opposed to the last time I haven't deactivated my account. I will check in once in a while I think. All the best to you and your research!midnight/...https://www.blogger.com/profile/01795118895095126990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6781794637976760773.post-30739557869275424732014-11-02T15:46:16.705-08:002014-11-02T15:46:16.705-08:00I was somehow like you for awhile; concerned about...I was somehow like you for awhile; concerned about my comments and posts. Like you, I took a break for few months and after I came back, I promised myself to avoid expressing my opinion unless my thoughts or experiences can really help someone (and I often send private messages rather than leaving comments). <br />However, I've found benefits in using FB. For instance, one of the grants that I'm going to submit was an idea that came to me when I saw one of my friend's defense title on FB. <br />I've 'Liked' some of the pages and programs that I enjoy (e.g., npr, PRI, Market place, along with other science newsfeeds) only to get their 'feeds'. To me, FB is something similar to the old google reader. <br />I don't mean to change your mind (I might leave FB again). But my current feeling toward FB is the same as what I feel about googling a topic; being bombarded by too much information! My emeritus adviser used to 'digest and dissect' fewer articles 30 years ago. But now, I have to skim over many more articles, most of which garbish, to find what I want. <br />Say, if our generation leaves FB, what experience can we teach the next generation?Babakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00653662239243380548noreply@blogger.com
