Read of the Day #2: Bad High School Reunion? Blame Facebook
This is a quote I’m not entirely sure if I agree with: “Social networking has robbed us of our nostalgia.”
At my 10-year reunion a few years back, it was great to hear the details, since, for the most part, everyone knew the headlines from Facebook. True, the “OMG” may have been gone, but nobody was complaining.
What about you? Was your recent reunion affected by social media? Or if you have one coming up, do you fear it won’t be as impactful?
