TBH I know many don't have FB, refuse to have FB or like FB but in some areas its reminiscent of when email started to be widespread but a significant portion of people still wanted physical class newsletters to be sent. Anyway for me both the website and FB are essential to any class/club etc

The problem with the Grads is they have ended up in a situation where the host they are paying isn't providing the service they are paying for (anyone on Sky Broadband is blocked from the front pages, but can access pdf's fine given the full path to the doc) and if they move they don't seem to have ownership of the URL. What is aggravating people is the way the class is handling anyone who contacts them querying the issue or asking why the website isn't working. They seem to think it is the users fault or because they can't see the issue, it doesn't exist.

Most Government employees not supposed to have Facebook accounts, Police, Teachers etc, not just personal preferences.

So far everyone has missed the #1 essential, which is finding some BF who has the time and interest to manage a CA (or club for that matter) website in return for zero money and a bunch of abuse ! I'd rather put pins in my eyes than run a class/club website.

At the risk of heading into political territory are public sector workers really 'not supposed' to have social media accounts? Sounds a bit draconian and excessive interference in private life. I can understand the need for certain jobs like teachers needing more consideration of what is posted, what people are 'friended' etc to protect themselves and their professional reputation but surely they can't be stopped from having what is a fairly common means of communicating with friends and family?

In the sector I'm in, we're not allowed to discuss operational issues on a public forum, but we have no restriction on having a non-work related virtual life.
Work IT equipment is locked down so we can't use it from work. |

That might have been the case but it is no longer so. Clearly such people have to be more careful who they 'friend' and what they post but they are, in the main, not prohibited from being active on social media.

What has happened to date will all be fairly irrelevant soon anyway- consigned to the annals of communication history. Internet 4.0 is set to become the ambient internet, ‘smart devices’ will just become devices as life becomes a series of IP addresses running in the background. The lines between online and offline blur- a digital economy that is just the economy. Alexa and Siri are just in their infancy, and none of us are naive enough to think these won’t play a larger role in our lives in the future, even if we are willing to take the accusations of ludditism on the chin with a wry smile.

Ah .. it all makes 'going off-grid' even more attractive.
