Computer use
Keith is showing his age a bit. I hear there's an opening at 60 Minutes for a crotchety old man.
In all seriousness though, computers are an integral and necessary part of life, especially for kids growing up today. Considering what's out there on the internet in general, facebook should be the least of your concerns. I grew up in the age of dialup when we all thought AOL was the actual internet. I was probably 12 years old the first time I saw scat porn, just for a bit of perspective.
There are privacy controls, too. When someone types in my name, they see a picture of my dog as my profile pic, and that's all. It's easy to protect kids as long as you're involved as a parent. How hard is it to make sure your kids friends are people they and you actually know? It takes two minutes of sitting down, with them, and looking at their friend list.
