Thanks for that, it confirms what I’ve mulled over in my mind about these sites, particularly about being a “friend” to someone you really don’t know.
It looks to me that for younsters that might be putting oneself at risk, plus all the private info that people apparently feel is so “necessary” to put on a worldwide web, pretty scary to us.
We’re not part of that world and yet I don’t know how many times folks have wanted to add us as a friend to Facebook but we kindly refuse. I still don’t know if they could without our knowledge (here is where my age/lack of techology savvy is telling on me).
Regards,
Once a request is received it has to be confirmed. If not confirmed, it doesn't happen. I simply trash the emails and get on with things.
Phone and email is still my favorite way of communication. I recently bought my wife her first laptop. She's not a 'computer' person, but has taken to it like a duck to water. Mostly it's receiving email from friends or relatives, but there's some web surfing for crafts, patterns & stuff. I find it funny how her outlook has changed so quickly.
