My efforts to get my head around Facebook have finally resulted in a feature for Intelligent Life. From my reporting trip to Menlo Park, to watching Asperger’s families support one another (they love Legos!), to watching thousands of friends gather online around a 36-year-old classmate dying of cancer, to finding that kids no longer get drivers’ licenses like they used to, to catching up on breastfeeding moms catching up with each other in the middle of the night… many of the things I found about how Facebook has changed our life surprised and even touched me. I look at the downside too–we will miss our habits of discretion if we discard them lightly. But take a look and judge for yourselves.
