Oh yes, the company now has a Facebook Page.

The technology gap between the young and old is widening. A younger generation knows more and is immersed more while an older generation feels more lost. And so seems to react by setting up Government committees to reign in this tech freedom.

DCENR’s Twitter policy is simple but good.
