She is also on Google plus. She chats to her "friend" Rachel in the USA. I've seen Rachel via video when Miss A has been chatting to her, so I know that Rachel is Miss A's age. I hear what they are talking about as Miss A has to leave her door open on her bedroom when she goes in there to chat to Rachel. And she also uses Google Plus to chat to her school friends.
Miss A claims she's socially awkward. Perhaps in "real life" she is, but online is a different matter. Is the online world making it easier for Miss A to be social? Not sure. Is it helping her "real life" socially awkwardness? Probably not!
There are many times in our household that I look around and we are all on devices. We do talk to each other about what we are doing on the devices, update each other on the news or show pictures of things that others have shared with us. I once said we are a device driven family! Not sure how I feel about that but certainly on weekends like the one we just had where it was very wet, it kept us all occupied and a bit more connected to the outside world - or are we??
