Social networking

Thanks for the guest post by Jonathan Curtis

The age of social networking is upon us. I know that it has reached the outer limits of the population because my 86 year old grandfather recently set up a social networking account. I live in a rural area and set up my internet through http://www.satellitestarinternet.com/hughesnet_plans_pricing.html, so I have not been on Facebook for very long. The problem with my grandfather being on facebook is that he now has access to information about me and my other family members like never before. This is not necessarily a good thing. My grandfather is pretty conservative, and I have a couple of cousins who are pretty wild. For the first time he has seen what his grandkids are really like. One cousin I have is so wild and spends money so quickly, that it forced my grandfather to change his will. I only know this because my mom told me. It is kind of sad that my grandfather does not trust his own grandchildren, but to be honest, some of us are not that trustworthy. I guess this is life in the information age.
