Art is whatever you think it is. Whatever you think is good Art, is good Art. Not what someone else tells you it is. I think social media is the same. What you want to use it for, is what it should be used for.<br />KatyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119733539095505639.post-81455167314371088292013-07-27T02:02:37.875-07:002013-07-27T02:02:37.875-07:00I guess it depends what you use Facebook for.

Overall, we need to respect each other and remember it's not all about likes, or friends. Isn't it about connecting and keeping in touch?Jensterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16520768559004876077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119733539095505639.post-12408719741476853692013-07-26T01:11:59.189-07:002013-07-26T01:11:59.189-07:00I am addicted to FB.

Ultimately I guess I think that I'm not forcing anyone to be my 'friend', so if they think I'm oversharing, or undersharing or whatever they can always make me disappear from their feed. I get more annoyed about some of the advertising than I do with anyone's status update habits. It has lead to me connecting and reconnecting with some awesome 'real world' friends, so I'm still glad it exists.

I love being able to keep in touch with family and friends and I use it to organise to catch up with a large group of friends so there is less back and forth with text messages to work out what everyone is doing. My blog FB page though is used for posting links to my posts, funny pictures and occasionally interesting links that I have come across.

And to play endless scrabble games with my mum and sister (addicted). If people annoy me, I hide or unfriend them. If I don't hear from them in ages, I unfriend them. I don't feel any guilt in this, FB is not the definition of my friend circle, merely a communications tool. <br /><br />While FB can be addictive, I think it's important not to take it too seriously!Lanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03378737160853320433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119733539095505639.post-4893365335959506812012-10-03T00:12:28.664-07:002012-10-03T00:12:28.664-07:00yes, I agree there's a lot to teach the kids a...yes, I agree there's a lot to teach the kids about it, and same goes for adults as well!!Lydia C.

We need to be able to switch off and invest in real time interaction and relationships and we need our kids to do the same. That is why I always teach that it is more important to give kids the skills to deal with all forms of social media as the platforms will keep changing. And there are many adults who need to remember this as well, particularly with reference to time limits and oversharing. But yes it is all still new and everyone is still learning and figuring it all out. :)themodernparenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02065613449533298829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119733539095505639.post-21557485619168641802012-10-02T01:21:52.203-07:002012-10-02T01:21:52.203-07:00For some reason I can't comment on your yarn b...For some reason I can't comment on your yarn bombing??
