Facebook,Myspace and Wrong Place

Social networking on the internet is taking so many
directions. You are not running with the pack if you
don't have a myspace page, a facebook page, a second
life(soon to change to mylife -I could be wrong) plus
a twitter account. The list is getting to be as long as
my arm.

I conduct a lot of research for varied reasons. I have
an account with most of these sites -a page of my own
I do not have.

Some parents who do not have adult or teenage children
in the public eye would be very shocked to read their
children's myspace or facebook. I know I am shocked
for them at times. I would hope that parents know how
disturbing our world is to the younger generation.
I don't know what happened between 1965 and 2009.
It seems my generation didn't leave a better place for
our children or for our working class (I am one of them)
to retire into.

Meanwhile our children are revealing personal things
in their social networking before we get to hear it.
I am saddened by some of the blogs and blurbs and
profiles I read sometimes. I occassionaly stumble
onto a profile that the young person's parent has
never seen. Some personal information is too revealing
and should not be shared with the world at large.

I have learned that blogging is the same. I try to
share personal thoughts that may touch someone's
heart or trigger some intellectual thoughts. Then
again I just like to share strange humor that others
may also enjoy.

Nothing wrong with being honest but sometimes
think before you add info to your social network
pages. You may be blindsiding a loved one.
