A mother and daughter face up to facebook

It is true as to how fast the Facebook world has grown. As the author mentions, it is in a way, a double edged sword. In some ways facebook is bringing people together, giving people a sense of security that no matter what they still have all their facebook friends. It also reduces the amount and importance of social face to face interaction. Although people so readily add anyone they meet, it is understandable as to why some would not want to add their parents to their facebook “friends.” For many college students giving your parents unlimited access to your photos, who your friends are and what they are saying to and about you is just too much freedom.
