what's new:)

It's been a long time since I wrote anything here. Time to catch up, especially that the weather outside makes me smile so much that I need to share first traces of the spring in Denmark. Have a look and enjoy with me:

It's amazing what influence weather has on our mood. Since few days, sun is shining very often. Suprising? Oh yes, especially in Denmark. I was rather used to constant rain here. And right now, if it was not cold I wouldn't leave my garden, I guess.:)

Another reason to smile? International Women's Day! Yes that's today:) Even though here, it is not celebrated to the same extent as in Poland, since I woke up and turned on my computer I really feel delighted.  So many of my friends posted greetings and beautiful postcards. I know it is only virtual, but still very nice, still shows that people remember about this holiday. 

That inclines me to touch the subject of Facebook. I remember when my friend send me a link to the very critical artical about Facebook. It said, to what extent it changed the mode of our communication. According to the author, before we were forced to have more contact in real life. When we wanted to talk to somebody, we had to call or visit that person. Right now we write on the wall, send message, we limit ourself to the screen of the computer. I partially agree. 

I have noticed that sometimes I also spend too much time on Facebook. Few times I was even wondering if I shouldn't delete my account so I spend this time in more constructive way. But I know I won't do it. For me Facebook has far more advantages than disadvantages. I am sure that I would lose contact with many people. Obviously not with my close friends. However i am sure I wouldn't be so updated with what happens in their life. 

Thanks to Facebook I also I regained contact with many of my colleagues. We are not constantly in touch, but  it is realy nice to keep contact with them, even though it is just from time to time.

Another thing, I wouldn't dare to say, that Facebook made me limited to online communication. Really often I use it to set up meetings in real life and it cost nothing, in contrast to mibole phones.

What about privacy issues? People might know too much about us? True, tha's why I don't have public profile. I don't give everybody access to all information about me.

I understand that some people might not need Facebook. That's fine, everybody can choose. However I am sure, that right now I find it really useful and I am not going to resign from this online social community;)

Anyway, in days like today, when I received many wishes through Facebook, I appreciate this tool even more;) 

P.S. Special greetings for my amazing friend:* Ewelinko enjoy the day!
