I'm not on facebook either, but every night I look at some cartoonist sites & a few others. On rare occasions facebook sez. join up! & I say p*** off & close the page & return the following night. I value my privacy (you have privacy when you are contact for several organisation?????)

As a non-member I can't see everything on a facebook page & last year when friends were involved in a controversy I asked a member if he would print out the comments for me as I wanted to see what was going on, so he sent me a file & I had fun reading it. The representative of the other organisation involved was very good at publishing false news/total lies & got pulled up every time.

I also don't have a mobile phone, tho I'll be getting a stupid phone soon (our national internet & phone system is changing, not for the better) & I don't want a smart phone. I don't even want a stupid phone, like previous posters I've had trouble using someone elses phone on the rare occasions I needed to make a call. When I bought a mouse from Apple last year I had to type in my email address to get the receipt & it never turned up, I couldn't manage the bloody tiny buttons.

it anyone wants to see an exercise in political stupidity & national unhappiness look up Australia's NBN (National Broadband Network) Most folks lose internet connection after they are connected, some for up to a month, some for longer, & as landlines are gone, we do need mobiles ...
