Saturday, December 19, 2009Being holed up on a snow day with my paper has led me to think a somber thought.
With all the flight delays, I worry for the safety of those who are flying.
And I realize, if something were to happen to one of my friends, I would most likely find out from Facebook, or from another friend.. many many days, even weeks, after.
Except for with family, close family friends, or my church (which is basically family), Facebook is probably the only thing that informs me of what happens in other people's lives.
And if it doesn't go on Facebook. I probably won't know about it unless somebody else thinks to call or text or tell me after finding out themselves.
Unless I'm particularly close with the family, if something happens to a friend, his or her family would most likely not know or think to tell me about it.
I would have to find out via Facebook.
Or something similar.
How tragic is that? =/
