Digital

Etiquette

By Philip C.

Eighteen, Not on Facebook and still smiling

Nicky Phillips and Angie Kelly March 16, 2011

IT HAS instigated possibly the greatest social revolution of a generation: political uprisings have been changed by it, movies have been made about it, anthropologists now study it.

And yet Rosemarie Costi, 18, wants nothing to do with it.''I have a little confession to make,'' the school captain of Monte Sant' Angelo Mercy College in North Sydney said in her welcome speech to year 7 students.''I don't have Facebook. I don't have a profile page, I don't write on walls, I rarely 'lol' [laugh out loud] and I certainly don't poke.''

• With more than 500 million people spending more than 11 billion hours a month on Facebook, Miss Costi's position sounds unique.But she is one of a growing number of young people who are choosing not to participate in social media.

“I have a little confession to make … I don’t have facebook.”

Do students realise how their use of technology affects others?
