Comment to the ON-LINE Yearbook

I agree with the online year book being a sad state of affairs. Let's think of the traditions that will be lost as well as the creativity in signing a friend or acquaintances year book. The handwriting will be lost, the personalization of remembering how a friend signed it. Will someone be able to sign another's online yearbook upside down. Wasn't it a special gift to save a certain page for your BFF (Best Friend Forever) to sign. Or are the future generations just going to sign in abbreviations that no one will remember in 15 years.

I don't know about you guys, but I still use my yearbook as a resource of looking up people to put a face to the name. For example if I meet someone new and they say "Do you know so and so from Stillwater?" I can go home and look them up. It helps because I am really bad with names.
