Thing 9 Facebook cont

I've found many groups to join and love finding new ones that tell a little bit about me. I adore "Flair" and find it a fun way to express yourself. I am addicted to the quizzes and love seeing how my family and friends scored on the same ones I've taken. I was a sucker for the quizzes in the magazines and facebook is no different.

It's amazing how many of my cousins children have their own facebook accounts and are active in posting. These types of technology have always been a part of their world and not using it is unthinkable. Recently, a friend's daughter was visiting and asked if I had any gaming systems to play. When I told her no, but that I had a Connect Four game, she asked if it was for the wii. I told her it came in a box and she responded, "Oh you mean from like the 1900's!" I was a little taken aback but realized how her point of view demonstrated the need for libraries to remain ahead of the curve in embracing technology if we want to speak to the younger generations in their own language. I hate to think that children and teens are thinking of libraries as something from the 1900's!
