Facebook and twitter infestation

So lately school has made life super busy and not much time has been available for watching tv or movies, but the shows we have seen have had references or plots that involve facebook and twitter. It made us laugh to see that those programs have become so popular so quickly that even public television includes them. We also had a discussion with my husband's older brother and his wife about what technology was big when they were in junior high through college and it is amazing how quickly things have changed. During this thanksgiving season it made me grateful for the internet and how "easy" it is to write research papers now compared with my parents and those who only had books to research in and type writers to complete their papers with. We have it so much easier!
