BUT I must admit facebook is extremely tedious for me and has by and large just allowed old forgotten acquaintances to try and sell me everything under the sun, and more annoying, to tell me all about their painful voyage through life. BUT through the eyes of my 13 year old son facebook (and sites like it) are amazing social tools that allow him and his generation explore the world at hyper-speed. (I tell my son every day he should give thanks to Al Gore for inventing the internet). But back to my point, Facebook is an efficient way for young people to meet, communicate, and explore. They have a unique language and a rhythm to their posts. Their generation has developed a code of conduct, which adults would be well advised to adopt. Cool is important and screening is swift and in most cases irreversible. <br>I find it amusing to read people complaining about irrelevant posts and feel for the people who crave so much attention. The kids have a solution. DELETE. In their world DELETE is politically correct. Lessons we can learn from our children.</p><p>Love the Site, enjoy following your work. Hope you and your family are well.<br> </p>stevenhaynesSun, 04 Oct 2009 00:10:32 -0000
