I work with someone who is doing her Master's Degree in Library Sciences, and she still doesn't understand what Facebook and MySpace is. Granted, English is her second language, but they have social networking in her country, too. While I would understand people like your parents or mine not understanding social networking, I wonder, is she's not getting any digital info from her library classes?
