I spend very little time with the Social Media – Facebook, Twitter, Linked-In, Pinterest, and others. My granddaughters are a different story, however. When their mother takes away their phone privileges (and they all have Smart Phones), they rush to Grandma’s to “borrow my computer.” When I ask why they need my computer, it’s almost always, “I need to get on Facebook now!” It’s urgent, you understand. Someone could be posting something that they need to know about, and believe me, they don’t want to miss it! They are on their phones constantly. I never hear them getting silly in the back of the van anymore when we go places, because they are all too busy texting on their phones. At my house, sometimes they try to text under the table at dinner time, thinking I won’t notice. Ha Ha! I might be old, but I’m not dead yet. Any texting during dinner, and it’s ME who takes away the phones!
