    The document discusses social networks and how parents can help their children navigate them. It notes that Facebook has over 1 billion users, Twitter has 500 million, Google+ has 500 million, and Flickr has 32 million users. While social networks provide a lot of information, there is a risk of a "storm surge of data" that is too much too fast. The document advises keeping one's mind primed with conversation, credibility indicators, and standards of evidence when online. It also stresses the importance of social skills like face-to-face interaction taking priority over virtual connections. The key roles for parents are to focus on their child's character, skills for career success, and teaching them to be savvy with social media.
