There will always be a new technological temptation, but true living will always be unplugged. Teach your kids that today and they will someday thank you for that... perhaps even in person!
Facebook provides a window to the death of people we hardly, if ever, knew. While it may not promise eternal life, Facebook may just guarantee that some distorted image of you will stick around at least until the planet melts.
