YOU MEAN THERE ARE MANNERS IN THE FACEBOOK AGE? 1st of 12 RULES TO SAVE YOU GRIEF

You love Facebook and your smart phone but all this tech stuff has a lot that ticks you off.  From the chain e-mails, people texting when they are supposed to be visiting with you, the nasty things people say on facebook or text that they would never say.  Often with the "constantly being in touch" lifestyle, people have trouble remembering the important things such as kindness, respect and honesty.  Even the really nice people make mistakes and accidentally do a really stupid thing in the unforgiving world of technology.  There are rules that will save you from wanting to put a paper bag on your head and never touching a computer or cell phone again.  


1.  "I get so many emails.  Do I actually have to respond to all of them right away?"


You really should answer personal notes as soon as you can so that the person who emailed or texted you won't be left wondering if you got the e-mail/text or not, or are you just ignoring them.  This is especially true in the social network world such as Facebook where they can see you posting updates after they sent you something.  They will ask, why are you posting updates and not answering them?  If you are busy or just need some time to answer, let them know that you read the note and will get back to them soon, such as "got it" or "text you later".  You also have the old school option of actually calling them.
