After a morning of nosing around old classmates facebook pages and seeing what everyone is up to these day it got me wondering about the one or two who have no facebook and one in particular who has no online presence at all. I come from a small village and I think I am facebook friends with virtually everyone in my year at high school except one girl, who will now be 40 and a guy who does have a twitter but no facebook.
The girl is just off grid nothing comes up for her. I do know her brother and I know she went to art school in London and lives in Copenhagen now with her Danish husband. She was always a bit of a loner at school but nice. I guess I am just pretty nosey about her and wonder why she or anyoen doesn't have any social media or linkedin at all? I used to think people who didn't use social media had something to hide or that looking at other peoples lives just made them depressed but it sounds like she has done well for herself and I find it a bit sad she doesn't keep in touch with the old country!
I know a lot of people do give social media up if they find it overwhelming or depressing and some just don't care. This isn't meant to be judgmental I'm just curious about why people don't do social media, especially if they have normal or successful lives?
