Social Networks

I am not able to get on the social networks at my job, but I may try at home. With so many millions on these sites, I would like to find a group that is interested in traveling or quilting, for ex. Perhaps when my granddaughter gets older, I can join her social network!
I have watched so much on Dr. Phil & Oprah about the evils of what kids are doing, but I understand the attraction for the younger generation. It seems that young people who want to feel popular can, if they can be part of one of the most popular MySpace kids in school. And it may empower people to be more outgoing in the safety of their home, in front of the computer. How much time they spend on these things, I can only imagine. Between that and texting, I don't know how they get anything accomplished, like studying.
But I'm glad they have these sites because it opens their world. Since the young today are being raised on this, it's no different than how we met with friends for hours on the phone. I still prefer to talk with someone personally. I'm a product of my generation, too.
