One of the scariest things as a parent is to understand how to prepare my kids for their digital future. It is beyond anything that I experienced growing up.

I see Bill, we have the same doubts, what not mean that it's not right. I think that Facebook has changed too much, in my opinion, his platform in the wrong way.

It could make us more willing to express how we feel. Or you could say it over-simplies our complex moods and lives. But today the Facebook status update box began offering the option to “share how you’re feeling or what you’re doing” through a drop-down menu of emoticons and media. We’re entering a more structured era of communication, where both friends and big data know exactly how we tick.
Facebook began testing the new sharing options in January, but only released screenshots. Now it appears the feature has been given to a much wider audience. It’s likely the beginning of a global or at least US or English language rollout. I’ve contacted Facebook for details. Most mentions I’ve seen of the feature have been from the US, and many note the similarity to an old Myspace mood sharing option. Via Martin Gysler Delete the scoop?

We all know that as students progress through their school years, their homework load increases. Fifteen year olds may look longingly back to when they were ten and had a whole lot less work to do at home. According to the handy infographic below, the average 6-8 year old spends 9 hours per week studying, vs. 14 hours per week for college students. That doesn’t seem so awful, especially when you consider that the average student spends 4.39 hours per day watching television. Via Alfredo Calderon, Gust MEES Delete the scoop?

Gaia, Woobox works only on your FB Pages, NOT on your FB profile. That's the reason why you can't get it to do what you want. It doesn't do that. :-)

The other day, I was discussing with someone the dangers of using social media without rules. Since Millennials are the only generation that did not have to go through their formative years without a computer, teaching them the basics is now vital.
Jim Dougherty shares a great infographic on his blog. It is full of eye-opening stats on Facebook usage. For example, do you know that 55% of teens have given out personal information to someone they don’t know?
