Social Media... is it wrong?

Debates have gone back and forth. Is FB, in particular, wrong?

My mother says its "silly". My sister wasn't convinced. My friend is not on it at all, because its 'stupid'. My colleague says, "he hasn't time'.

I can see the dangers. You have to be careful. But then don't you have to be careful in life?

Some people say we are missing the 'face-to-face', but in this hectic, busy world, I, for one, wasn't getting much of that anyway.

I am actually a big advocate of FB and all social media. Yes, it can distract me, and I can sometimes spend more time on it than I want, but there are some great reasons why I love it.

I connect with all my family and friends across the world - one sister lives in the UK, the other in South Africa. I love them, I miss them, and all their families. With Facebook I see pictures, hear their news and keep in touch with them with wall posts. Its wonderful!

And besides all that, I have reconnected with past friends, get events from nearby ones, made connections in business and learned more about the peeps in my life. How much more wonderful is that?!

In fact, the sister who was not convinced, I think is now. We post back and forth and it makes me feel so connected to her thousands of miles away.

I love FB and if you want to be my friend check me out at 'Penelope Atkinson' and our company at 'Giraffe Promotions'. Lets FB!
