The number of Facebook profiles of people who have died may exceed the number of living profiles in just 50 years, according to a new study. As such, the social network could become the keeper of a significant part of humanity’s memory.

I am not a member of face book. I can not see a lot of things there. Even some genealogical pages are off limits to me. I don't intend to become a member of face book and I certainly don't intend to become a member of a face book group, especially before I can even see what they are about. All the accounts that belong to dead people... what good are they if no one has access?
ReplyDeleteI also do not belong to the world of Facebook or Instagram or any other social media site. I do not intend to become embroiled in that vortex either. If I miss out on some information by not 'belonging', so be it.
