MyFamilySpace

We live in a world where technology enhances what we do. Conversely, if technology doesn't enhance a particular area, it becomes antiquated. Fortunately, technology has significantly enhanced genealogical research.

Social networking sites such as MySpace and Facebook have made it easy to stay in touch with those we care about... if they're alive. The easier it is to stay in touch with a group of people, the harder it is with all others. Thankfully, sites such as FamilySearch have made it easy to "stay in touch" with those who have passed on. Good thing too. Otherwise, we'd see a lot less family history research these days.

So it's easy to stay in touch with our Facebook friends, and our kindred dead... who's left? Time to get grandma an email account... before she becomes antiquated.
