Surviving FB Withdrawal

I just escaped from Facebook. Deleted the account. In 30 days I will no longer exist in the FB world.

Am I brave or nuts? My existence is in jeopardy without FB, but I’ll do my best to eke out a presence with this here blog. I’ve got oodles of ideas. Mostly I’ll talk about the culture in my neighborhood, which at the present is Allentown, PA.

I only moved here a couple of years ago and am still exploring. I’m discovering great restaurants, musuems, and the zoo. I’m in Amish/Mennonite country which means picturesque landscapes, well-priced furniture, and horse poop on the road. Lots of great topics for posts.

I’ll also be hawking one of my books still in print, WE, ROBOTS, about the technological singularity. It’s a fun, surrealistic story about a little mobile AI unit.

At any rate, I intend to survive withdrawal from FB. I prefer reality for the most part anyway, but if I get the social media DTs, I’ve still got LinkedIn and Youtube. In the words of Gloria Gaynor, “I will survive.”
