It is amazing to me how people can react to new things in life, and not knowing anything about it. I can remember far, far, far back when personal computers first popped up in the early 80s. What the critics said then are very similar to what they are saying about "Social Networking."
Now that nearly every household has at least one computer, all that silliness about computers taking over the world is gone. Starting in 2001, social networking started, and it has grown and evolved in all sorts of ways since. Just about everyone is using it in one form or another. To say this is not healthy is showing lack of understanding of this new technology.

Social Networking in Plain English
Psychology is not an exact science. How can it be? Each person is different in just about every way. Even twins are different in some way or the other. If they were 100% the same, they would be talking at the same time, thinking the same things at the same time, etc. It is proper for teenagers to learn how to use this new form of technology. The reason is they will be using it when they get a career job, when they become adults. Teenagers need to be very familiar with technology today.
Technology has not altered due to our economy situations, other then growing faster and faster. The children of today needs to be apart of the technology of today, right now. Technology is not evil. How can a tool be evil? I have stated this in previous postings, teenagers are for the first time learning how to interact with others and learning how to be a team player then ever before due to social networking.
See how ignorant it is today for people to state that social networking is addictive in a negative manner. Life can be addictive. Does that mean we all should end our live right here and now? DUH!!..... NO!!! What the older or baby boomer generation needs to realize is the age we are in now is totally and completely different then how they grew up. I call this Age, the Technical Age. It is turning very fast into a 3-D Virtual Age. There are tons of articles on this subject to show how fast 3-D virtual realities are growing.
Businesses of all kinds are using them as we speak. Universities are using them also. All walks of life are inworld on some 3-D virtual reality. What is known about them today will be completely different on what we all will know about them in the near future. This is the trend that is going on right now. Ignoring it, denying it, be critical about it, etc., will not make it go away.
