Facebook, Who are you?

I have a Facebook account and I have been following something really strange.  It seems like not only does Facebook hook up people that you once knew, but it hooks up people who really don't know each other at all.  It's like a way to virtually expand your social circles when you really don't have social circles.  Most of the people on my page, I was doomed to never meet again in life.  Thanks to the wonderful world of Facebook, you get to see come in contact with people and begin something that in natural life was not possible.  Old lovers can see what old lovers are doing.  You can look at wedding pictures that you weren't invited to.  You can pry into the world of your friends, friends who have no idea who you are.  It prompts me to begin to think about the natural laws of society that we now, can traverse quite easily.  We can talk to people from other countries.  We can break down the barriers that once held us in our own fishbowls.  Sometimes, I think it's a wonderful world.  Other times, I think we are headed for shipwreck.
