Although I am a facebook user I am not as active on it as some. I do use it to keep up with friends and family that do not live close and that is about it. The generation that is growing up today, it seems has a technology overload. I've yet to see a teen that is without their cell phone which usually gives them a text to keep them up on the latest and greatest on facebook. I was watching a children's show on PBS today with my 2 year old son and the characters were in a contest and they had to text the person that was in charge when they'd completed their task. I was shocked to see a children's show talking about texting! What have we come to? Who knows what it will be like when my children are teenagers...Facebook will probably be "out" and something else will be "in". I would hope that I will have instilled in my children the importance of face to face interaction with another human being rather than constantly hiding behind a computer or cell phone to secretly search out others.
Oh, and yes, I am "friends" with my parents. :)
