As we have all discovered the powers that be at facebook have gone and made changes yet again.
Usually there is some sort of warning, like a click here button for the new "look" or whatever they've seen fit to mess with. Last night was a first for me. I had my fb home page up and as I was looking at the page right before my eyes it changed! It was unnerving to say the least, I thought there was a problem with my computer.
Needless to say, yes, they've gone and changed fb and now we have to adapt. No big deal really, we've done it before we can do it again. If we want to stay connected we are at the mercy of the old man behind the curtain pushing the buttons.
What is interesting though is who on fb is complaining about and who is embracing the changes. I for one am middle aged, so I'm not terribly crazy that they went and made these changes then shoved them down my throat shortly after I adjust to the last set of changes they made. The younger users seem to be silent in their acceptance. They after all are used to an ever changing world where technology them is what hide and seek was to most of my friends on here.
Now, the older users, my mom, and her generation have not yet chimed in. Either they haven't noticed, don't really care anymore or have just accepted that fb changes and it changes often, get over it and move on. Or they are totally confused and have simply stopped showing up. Either way, change causes reaction and reaction, good or bad opens the door for discussion and there is no shortage of discussion (or shall I say opinions) being bantered around every one's home page.
Me, I'll adapt, I'll bitch about it first but I will adapt. More so however, I'm curious as to why on earth they would fix something that isn't broken. What part of fb wasn't working? It seemed pretty healthy to me and I'm on here allot. Which is also something I need to address...yes admittedly I'm an addict and I have gotten to the point where it's too time consuming to log off.
That's, how I see it.
Tammy.
