Facebook Confession | July 5, 2010

I have a confession that might strike you as shocking. Here goes. I’m a thirty-something who doesn’t use Facebook.

And it’s more complicated to not have one that you might think. I’m asked on a near-weekly basis by friends and acquaintances why I don’t have one.

A friend explained the site  to me because she was convinced that I just didn’t know enough about it. After her demonstration, she tried to convince me to … Read More »

Understanding the Vulnerabilities of Social Networking: Teens

I do.  I’m one of their friends on Facebook.

I am also a mother of a teen and owner of a safety education company, Executive Defense Technology.  Last week, my teenaged daughter and I were discussing, once again, the downfalls of technology.  My attempts to protect my teen from herself are failing as she secretly joins one more anime chat group.  I know as a parent, it is impossible for me to monitor what she is doing on the PC 100% of the time.

As a business person, I have enjoyed my journey … Read More »
