On one side we're happy people remember, on the other side, do they really remember and don't they wish happy birthday to just everyone they're a friend of in the same way, just because facebook tells them to do so?
Not sure what's worse, forgetting it, or being to lazy to actually call and only wish happy birthday via facebook.
The addiction of social media and its resulting into laziness to even show the love towards a person who is close to them saddens me. Nowadays everyone wants to share those things which they wanted to show off , it becomes showoff business, for example , one of my relatives daughter received "very few" likes to her photos and started crying ... Good thing is that she only 9 years old , but its going to be issues for those who failed to understand this addiction....
Again , its Good article , need to practice to adopt new things with some self defined limits
I think the general issue is to let a 9 years old have access to a social network at all. Even adults can't deal with them. I wouldn't ever let my kids have social networks before the age of 14 and even then I'd restrict it to make sure they don't get hooked up or influenced too badly.
