All the talk for a while has been on social media, and how it is changing how we interact. And if I am honest, for a while I didn't get it. The reports were saying that over 35's didn't realise why it was important, and under 35's couldn't understand why the over 35's didn't get it. One of those things like the fact that the young folk in the pubs now seem to spend their time texting people in different pubs rather than interacting with the people they are actually with.
I think I now "get it". When I found that 4 of my friends scattered around the world were on Facebook, and I could be in touch informally, with the funny, day-to-day you would say to them if they were beside you but never bother to email. And having used it for a good six months, it's nice to be in contact, even if fleeting.
