It is easy to make fun or complain about Facebook, but for me it is an
indispensable tool for daily life. My daughter lives here in Alicante but not
with us; my son lives in New Jersey; I am in frequent contact with my sister in
Poland, my uncle in Florida, my cousins in California, other cousins in Israel,
France and Belgium, not to mention friends all over the world…you get the idea.
In our case, Facebook helps keep an intercontinental family together to a
degree that we could not even dream about in the bad old days with just
telephone and letters. I still remember when I went to the US for a year in
1979; my main contact with my parents back in Denmark was a weekly, brief phone
call, a luxury on an exchange student’s budget. I will take Facebook over that
any time, warts and all.
Cheers,
Nathan
