Owning people?? humm.... Am I the only one who thinks this a bit outdated ? How can this notion be hip in 2008?
Buy and sell your friends as 'pets'.
Make your 'pets' hug, punch, and poke each other.

I tripped across this aspect of My Space today, while looking for the owner of a URL. I think I set up a My Space page for the store, but truthfully, as geeky as I can be, I am over 40 and it shows here. The idea that you have to note every &*^*&% minute of your existence and be plugged into a central DB so as to be "on" with your "friends" 24/7 is lame to me.
Of course, I do envy, just a tad, the 20something who is worth over a billion now for starting Facebook. Be that as it may, I think the pendulum has swung WAY too far. These kids will one day cringe - my heavens- can you imagine having documented for the ages the ideas and mistakes you made from 16-26 (ok 36) ...
This brings me to the next issue... how do I parent my children through this??? Do I really want my 5, 10, or 16 year old thinking she or he is worth $195???
Where will the help be for that one???
