There are benefits and consequences to every action and decision that we make for ourselves.

We then have to live with the results.

My job does not allow me to be on Facebook. Interestingly, I have a doctor--young and new--who requires patients to sign into personal medical information via Facebook accounts. I have tried to explain to the doctor that not everyone is on Facebook. I might as well have told him that I was born on Mars. I guess to someone in his mid 30s, someone my age (almost 68) is from another planet. LOL

I agree wholeheartedly with the OP! I hope QVC listens.

True

except they spend too much on screen time with the Social Media during the shows, I don't care what movie, Jane from LittleTown just saw. Talk about what you are selling!

I agree with everything you say.

This is the first l've heard of a doctor requiring his/her patients to be on Facebook. That sounds pretty unreasonable to me. I hope this doesn't become a trend, because then I'll have to change all my doctors!

I am sure HIPPA requirements would NOT allow that.

Actually FB started out as a bullentin board for college students. Back then the college males would post pictures of the prettiest campus girls, girls who they want to "date."

The females did the same as above. Then things started getting a tad too messy.....naming names on who wouldn't put out, the ones who did (if you know what I mean), who was NOT out of the closet, ugliest girl, etc.

After about a few years, the FB inventors wanted to clean it up to make the site more family friendly. FB at the time was in competition w/My Space & My Space was winning until they got caught up w/the pedophile scandals. Now the pedophiles have moved on over to FB.

I have several friends older than me that are not computer savvy. What is going to happen to people like this when you "must" be on FB, pay bills electronically, etc.? I do e-mail, etc. on the computer (and post here), but don't care to be on FaceBook at all. I wish QVC would not do so much social media and use the time more wisely to give us more information about the items they are selling. The FB "hosts" could take over other tasks. If there is too much social media, I change the channel.

Mz, thanks for the info about Facebook's early days. Interesting!

I won't join, don't want my business out there for the world to see. And I hate when companies have contests or free samples and the only way to enter or get the sample is via Facebook.
