Yesterday was my 31st birthday.
I received 5 birthday cards – 3 with money – and nearly 100 posts to my Facebook wall.
I don’t know about you, but I still prefer getting a card. The written word is much more personal.
But don’t get me wrong…Facebook has simplified our lives and allows us to keep in touch with more friends. What used to take a birthday calendar, Hallmark card, stamp and few dozen thoughtful words, now takes the ability to hit the send button.
I’m sure there will soon be an application allowing us to post automatic birthday greetings. I hope it doesn’t drive Hallmark out of business.
