What was the quote about Kindle and Segway? A device that fulfills a need I did not know I didn't have? Circa 2000...maybe they will have to actually make a profit with a real business model as opposed to selling "private" information. Yawn. What was the quote about Kindle and Segway?

My son has "cleaned up" his Facebook considerably now that he is a college graduate and has allowed more "older" folks on his site. He now deletes what he considers inappropriate responses from his wall. I notice that kids who allow their parents on their sites have a lot less messaging going as well. You might as well say the site has become "chaperoned". It was much cooler when it was just a college networking site. The younger kids couldn't wait to get on. It had a certain prestige over My Space. Now anyone can get on. Young kids who bother you with every application and old people trying to get tech savvy. My Mom who is 78, friended one of my daughter's friends who is in the Marines. One of his friends wrote some pretty nasty stuff on his wall with graphic language. My Mom intends to give them both a facebook tongue lashing! Ha.....oh, yes. It is the beginning of the end. There is no doubt they will be losing interest.

Facebook — despite its rising popularity with geezers — has teen approval." I find it amusing that in the lead article the above quote was made - now there is an entire piece about the young people leaving Facebook. Which is it? “What do they like besides texting?
