Quitting FaceBook

This link takes you to a very interesting article by author Douglas Rushkoff (interestingly his book Program or Be Programmed made a cameo appearance on this blog yesterday). Rushkoff writes about the work of managing an online presence and the decision that it costs (in his assessment) too much for him to continue. The costs are in terms other than financial, and he describes those in thus piece. In my estimation, this is a piece worthy of the attention of middle school populations as it illustrates a smart person who is a netizen reflecting on and taking control of his digital footprint.
