Six Degrees to Six Seconds

I have an account on Facebook that I rarely look at. But, yesterday, I got a friend request from someone I knew growing up. We were good friends at one point so reconnecting with her was fine. When I looked at her friends, though and their friends, I realized that there were people out there particularly from high school that I just didn't want to reconnect with! They are not bad people nor do I dislike them, I just don't want to reconnect. Making one connection, though, opens the door to making these other connections. It's just too much. I liked the good old days when I was separated from everyone on the planet by six degrees or less. Today, I feel like it has gone from six degress to six seconds. I want my five degrees back!Yes, I am opening the connection door by having a myspace account and a facebook account. So, one could say its my own fault. Last week I marveled at how quickly I made a connection with someone from an obscure place in LA where I had once lived. Today, I feel I am on the verge of stepping back into the past through social networking. Technology giveth then technology knocks us down with a fire hose!Am I the only one on the verge of social networking breakdown?
