<p>I don’t really get this very common Facebook hatred. It’s just a tool for communication. And I have to say, that it’s a very convenient one especially when you live far away from your friends and family. Of course you can be careless and misuse it like any other communication tool. But I have found it invaluable. Most of our family and friends live six or seven time zones away and it does hinder communication a lot. Via Facebook we are able to both stay in touch and also share our daily matters and also pictures. Yes, you have to be careful with privacy settings and even after that you have to moderate what you will tell or show. But you have to be careful with other communication methods too. Kids don’t always know how to do that, but neither are they that savvy with other communication methods. As a parent I see it my responsibility to teach them. Currently I try to teach my toddler to use her words in stead of her hands and my teen to be savvy with social media. Both important things for their future.</p>
