Study Finds Good In Social Networking

It’s time to zoom out again and look at social networking as something of a whole.  Turns out, it’s a good thing.  A new study sponsored by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation “found that youths use online networks to extend friendships, acquire technical skills, learn from each other, explore interests and develop expertise,” according to Sharon Noguchi.  So Facebook it up – or let your children do so – without worrying that time spent on the site will do anyone harm.
