Social networking is a timely book to educate those who are still not familiar with the new scheme of things. Unless you were born with a laptop in the room and unless you an IT geek the chances of being exposed to the new era of communications will be beyond your grasp. There must be huge communities of baby boomers who face this predicament day after day. The technology wave was like a tsunami beyond your grasp. Suddenly everyone has exchanged good old fashioned books for books with a face.Reading books like this one will assist those who are left out, to get a handle on the new media for communications and making friends. There are lots of desolate communities with no means of social communications. Social networking helps in easing this gap by enabling the making of new friends not just down the street but from far-flung corners of the world. It does wonders for the psyche to interact and communicate with someone albeit virtually. However for every good thing there must be something adverse to balance out the yin and yang of  nature. Be aware of the pitfalls of social networking and take it as superficial networking sans financial commitment.Stephen Williams books is a useful and timely book for those on the verge of entering this new realm of networking. Buy it for the older members of your family who are still not familiar with this new medium of communication as it is undoubtedly an useful purchase.
