ROTHENBURGER: What we learned about ourselves in the Great Facebook Crash
KAMLOOPS — WHEN FACEBOOK WENT DOWN we all did our best to get through it. We even tried to laugh.
My favourite came from Kamloops school trustee and law professor John O’Fee, who posted when it was all over: “My next door neighbor knocked on my door with a plate of food in her hands. With Instagram and Facebook down she wanted me to know what she was having for dinner.”
Fact is, though, it was stressful. I like to think I’m not co-dependent on Facebook but I spent a lot of time logging in and out, rebooting my computer, opening and closing, trying in vain to check Messenger.
