"Mommy, I saw on FB that time you..."
With the huge implementation of social media in our everyday lives, our lives are very well documented. So well documented that in the next few generations, listening to grandma and grandpa tell stories of their childhood will be extinct. In a few decades, teens will be privy to all the pictures, comments, ex-relationship statuses, instagrams, and tweets their parents posted at their age. It makes for some interesting changes in family dynamics. I predict that when the time comes, parenting blogs will be talking about whether it is good or bad to limit their children's ability to view the past or whether it is a beneficial tool in their relationship so their children can see them as human beings. Regardless of which way is the best way to handle that situation, it is bound to happen. It may very well change the amount of information we share through social. It could also spawn a generation that may shy away from social...effected by the shock of seeing their parents as anything other than their embarrassing out of date parents.
