ABC702 Weekends: Facebook and your Family

How do we use social media safely and effectively.

For the first 702Sydney Weekend program for the year ABC 702 Sydney Paul Wallbank and Ian Rogerson looked at how to use Facebook safely.

Facebook and other social media services are becoming an increasingly important part of our lives, so it’s important we understand the benefits and the risks involved in using the web.

All the details of what we discussed in the program are available at the Facebook and Your Family post.

One listener’s question we said we’d get back to was Emma who asked about Microsoft Word stopping her Mac from closing down.

This is usually due to problems with an office plug in or the normal template. To attempt to fix the template, follow the instructions at the Word Mac site.

As Ian suggested, it may be time to consider a more up to date program as Office 2001 is seriously outdated.
