A woman that I knew in college died in her sleep this week. I had been reconnected with her, like several other friends from 30 years ago-via Facebook. I barely knew this woman in college but we had exchanged a few thoughts and then all of a sudden her comment messages (to an automatic horoscope she has linked to her fb page) started indicating that she should
" rest in peace."
First of all that is a shocker to read on Facebook but it also revealed alot to me about who we (I) have become via these computers.
I wanted answers and I wanted them now. I searched her name and kept going over pictures to see if I could remember her a little more. Finally I found a picture of her, and as if a buzzer went off in my head, I remembered her sarcastic humor and her close friends in an instant.
But I wanted more. I wanted to be able to click on a website and see who she had become.
A webcam into her life (only a few hundred miles to the south of where I am now).
Webcam, really? Well we have become so desynthesized via television and computers that we seem to expect this. Facebook has made me want to see and know more about people I lost touch with years ago. But is this healthy? Our facebook pages seem to have a life of their own .
I truly do appreciate being reconnected with folks who were an important part of my growth but at times it just makes me more alone and more lonely. Perhaps it is time for me to take a break and go back outside.
Rest in Peace , Connie, wherever you are.
