The topics above are very timely.
Don’t know if we agree with Mr. Zuckerberg’s intention of making the Facebook platform available to younger children – this would leave a gaping hole for cyber bullying (where younger children just do not understand the ramifications!).
We have 3 children, all of whom are social media savvy, all of whom have Facebook accounts – and all of whom waited until they were 14 to open these accounts.
We monitor their accounts by insisting they “friend us”, and although this is seen by some parents as being overly strict, we have had instances where we were glad we were available, and knowledgeable – and lent our children assistance. (Sure – we know our children can open up dummy accounts, email addresses, etc. – but so far, our children haven’t given us any reason to distrust them!)
As far as online usage goes, our children spend most of their online time on Facebook, chatting (and offline texting) – and NOT email. I can hardly get my children to open an email! Email seems to be a dead medium among Middle School and High School aged children, except for when it’s absolutely necessary!
Again, looking forward to meeting you, and enjoying lunch this Friday!

I see a lot of strong opinions swirling around, but not so much objective listening or an attempt to understand the situation from another perspective.
I wonder if this is the impression that others have of people who live in New Jersey…
