Shit

It's been three years.

OU

I'm on a roll, two posts in one day, I must have a lot to get of my chest. i have been with the OU a few years now, slogging away at my studies, and it saddens me that more and more of the content of courses is online, i'm not a technophobe, far from it I think the net and the information available on it is empowering to anyone that has access, and the people of the world who don't have that freedom of information are at a huge disadvantage.
But you know sometimes I just like my words printed on a decent piece of paper, so I can just hold it in my hands and read it, like most of the materials were, when I first started at the OU.

Facebook

I've been on a Facebook for about a week now, mainly because everyone and their granny now have Facebook account. The secret to Facebook is that it is generally deadly dull, You have games that are repetitive and brain numbing just to keep you on the site and posting your little updates 24 hours a day. The site was so congested I had to switch to Google Chrome just to get anything on the screen,its a nightmare.
Unfortunately it seems to be the only way I can keep track of what family is up to, is this what the future will hold?
We will all get home, shut our doors and live our lives through a computer monitor.
Will I be on it tomorrow, probably. You never know what someone might post tomorrow.
