Yes, certainly the conversations I am having with my kids about the uses of technology (when and how to use) are much more sophisticated than we were having five years ago! My two oldest (17 & 19) have Facebook, and I'm their friend. My two youngest use a Ning network I set up for them and their friends (which, btw, they LOVE--isn't that interesting...).
