Facebook. Talk about wasting time.Yes and no - user dependent. Could make the same argument about Audiogon. In her case, family is emotionally close but physically all over the country, sharing pictures, new babies, planning trips and vacations together, and connecting/communicating in a manner not possible before the introduction of the technology. Efficient to communicate with 4, 5, or 6 others at the same time. My friends are geographically closer so I mainly use it for information - bike trail conditions, etc., but I do enjoy the family photos.
Lack of Female Representation
So who can explain the near lack of females in our hobby? There are far more women discussing football than audio, by a long shot. There are a lot more women into fixing up their cars as well. I just can’t think of a hobby, other than ours, where representation is so close to zero.
