At least once a week, often times more, Facebook likes to notify me when it is someone’s birthday; about 85% of the time it is someone I have rarely or never talked to and know by association. I find it interesting, yet annoying that Facebook notifies me of birthdays that I do not care about. Facebook is trying to acknowledge a celebratory event for someone’s life, which is a good thing, but alerting people who have no connection to said person’s birthday just become irritated (me). I also find it interesting because this specific person is someone I went to high school with, never really interacted much with, and have not seen in almost 4 years. I feel like Facebook wants me to reminisce on the past, which I don’t particularly want to do.
