Thing 18 - 4-28-10

Today I learned about social media sites. I have been using Facebook for almost a year and it has been a learning experience for me. I am very cautious about sharing information with people that I don’t know. I do like being connected to my family and close friends through the site. I can view new photos and keep up with what is going on in their lives. I have been able to connect with a few old friends, but it seems like most of my friends aren’t into technology. I did find that my sister, that is 5 years older than me, has many friends on Facebook. Facebook is a good way to connect with family and friends, but it is very important to set-up your privacy settings so that you are comfortable with the information being shared.
