TWITTER

 Back when Twitter was new, my friend, Ben, joined and convinced me that this was how he would be communicating, so I joined also.  I think I logged in twice before realizing I wasn't as social as I thought and ceased.  I tried logging in this morning (yes, I keep all of my passwords) but couldn't.  Perhaps I actually quit Twitter, it's been a long time.

In any case, from what I'm seeing, I'm not really missing all that much.  I have no FOMO, if it's worthy of my attention it will get to me eventually.  Mostly what I see in the headlines is someone making a ridiculous statement and then getting roasted for it.  I suppose eyewitness account of a disaster might be helpful in some situations that are time sensitive.  But really, this is just one more tether to your phone.  I spend too much time staring at it anyhow.

I have a Skype account, but now am more inclined to use Messenger.  Truthfully, I'm not inclined at all.  I use whatever whoever (son, Kurt) is calling me.  We've used Face Time a couple of times.  Covid has forced Marilane to use Zoom, but I think they've moved on to something else.  I don't anticipate any such meeting-type communication.  Just to wrap this up, I think I have a Linkedin account that I set up when publishing my first book and an Instagram account that I set up to post pictures but stopped after a few weeks.  I'm just not social.
