Transcript:
Gene: I want to show Mom some pics of Meg in the garden! What's our Facebook password? Mary Lou: I sure don't remember! Gene: Great! I guess I'll have to go through all the junk to reset it! Gene: Good ol' Mom! Still in the stone age! Janis: Say what you will, but Facebook is a great way to keep up with the kids!

Ooooh, just went through this with Facebook. Took three days and seven emails to finally get my password changed. Really wish they had a toll-free number to clear everything up quickly. Grrrrr.

There’s something from the stone age called a notebook. Doesn’t need batteries, can be kept in a drawer, will hold your passwords forever and can’t be hacked.

It is abysmally pathetic when whether or not to share a Facebook account is something to worry about. .(Afraid of what your imaginary friends will think?)

As part of an old married couple, I must say my husband and I have our separate email accounts and facebook (which I don’t use). Don’t be so quick to paint all us old fogies with the same brush! I find this comic amusing because I totally agree with the stoneage comment, and am happy to see it applied!

It’s ideal for keeping up with the kids if the kids are over 40.

As an IT professional I don’t have a Facebook or Twitter account. They are serious security risks, often hacked. Did you know the top ten Flashlight apps for Androids are security risks? Check the file size: if it is more than a few hundred K it is doing things no flashlight should do. (The standard iPhone flashlight is okay.)

My password has 26 letters, bet you can’t guess what it is?…

It’s not just old married people. I know plenty of young marrieds who share an email account, too. The “We must be joined at the hip” attitude knows no age limit.

Somebody needs to know your passwords just like they need to know your acct numbers. I had a good friend who died suddenly, and because his brother knew his FB password, he could let all of us know what happened.

The point is the younger generation doesn’t use Facebook anymore. They just update it so the older generation can see whats going on in there lives.

What does the younger generation use instead of FB? I have a teenager and she seems to text her friends all the time.

Teens are tired of facebook because it’s old stuff and old folks are using it.

I still haven’t figured out what Facebook is for. You stick up a picture of your face, a few lines about yourself, and then ask a bunch of strangers to “friend” you. Why would anyone want to do that?
Especially when you know that your personal details are being harvested by intelligence agencies.

Why is it Mom is still in the stone age when it’s Gene that doesn’t know the password?
