[quote=Anonymous]What everyone does ,posts, etc., on social media will always  be a personal  preference as is what everyone enjoys seeing.  However, social media and community and commercial  engagement isn't going away.  It's connected  to most people, most businesses,  most organizations. It's education, local news and national news, grassroots groups, volunteer communities, hobbies, and even livelihoods.  Your kid's school has a sm presence as does the scout troop, the book club,  college, the art class,  the church, the bakery or any store you use- literally everything. 
I have neighbors, a little  older, but not elderly,  who claim  to have opted out because they think FB is evil  but they  miss out on massive amounts of information that would inform a lot of decisions  re: school board  elections,  HOA goings on, and the fact that our neighbor's son was hospitalized and are annoyed that they are the last to know. Many people have gone out of their way to provide details of necessary pieces of info they  may  need to know such as a planned water turn  off, an event,  or a petition going around.

I think the concerns about privacy are long gone considering all the information anything one consumes  gives that away, our phones, accounts, credit cards.  It's  not about using it or not using it, it's about learning how to use it wisely. [/quote]
