In reply to the discussion: Deleted my Facebook account a week ago -- crazy how addictive it was [View all]LittleGirl
(8,287 posts)50. I lived with Mom
Back in 2000 so she watched me use it. When I moved to Europe 13 years ago, I gave her my old computer. Ive replaced it with laptops twice since. Now she uses a kindle most of the time.
Her kids, grandkids and great grands are literally all over the world so she can follow all of us. It took her a long time to understand messenger and actually use it. We also have a google phone with a local number for her and as long as she checks the time difference, we can chat on the phone. Low cost communication makes it doable.
