Facebook: Making the Past No Longer a Thing of the Past

It used to be the case that when you would graduate (or drop out) of high school or college, you would leave a job or some staple of your life or a city and when you did, you left behind all of things that came with that experience. That might have been your friends or your family, that might have the activities and groups that you loved, or it might have been the past that you were very intentionally trying to leave behind. Well, Facebook has most certainly challenged that notion and it may in fact have altered the nature of our ability to simply, “move on.” In a world that keeps informed to the point of knowing someone's dinner, schedule for the week, and relationship status, it's hard to hide anything from anything, especially yourself.
