I'd rather it be here Darkhorse1210 at least it's localised to this thread which is the correct place to vent and not hijack other threads that have happened in the past

I am an old trog but I have learned to adapt to technology as it changes. In my profession as an automotive technician it is either adapt or die. For myself I find that Facebook can be a great time suck if I allow it to be. It has been a wonderful tool to keep in touch with my adult children. Via Facebook I was able to see my newest granddaughter shortly after she came in to this world & know that mother & child were doing fine. While living in Kentucky I have been able to keep up with my grandchildren even while daughter & her family are in Alaska. I have reconnected to old friends that have moved across country, some who I have not "friended" back. I do not follow any Twitter feeds but then I do not need to. Yet. I have a laptop at my toolbox & use Instant Messaging at work to stay connected to other parts & service personnel. Saves time as I can get back to work & the message gets the proper attention needed. It is another "thing" to keep up with but the price you pay for modern living. My 2 cents.
