you guys, facebook is OVER.

snapchat is beyond annoying. DD has taken to catching pics of me along with her to document everything we are doing. I get annoyed. I tell her I have no makeup on, feel like shit since I am sick, stop freaking snap chatting. I am sure my poor cats agree. It takes selfies to a whole other plane.

I've always told my H that he is responsible for knowing what technology the kidz are using when L is older. I am so out of touch and I swear to god it gets worse every day. I'm turning into my mother, like, overnight.     :drink:

And now I have learned where people find the porn these days!





I mean, I'M ASKING FOR A FRIEND.

Yeah, like over a year ago. That's when I got instagram. Which means the dead chimes had tolled long ago.


Drinking don't mind me.

I think FB's essential business model is to be the phone book. The conversations may end up happening elsewhere, in different forms - pictures, video, whatever - but FB is the hub through which everyone passes and how the olds find each other. It may ultimately just catalogue major events and updates from olds like me who don't want to follow the newest thing, but the ability to locate people is a huge feature and FB has a huge jump on competitors. Teenagers may be using other sites on a daily basis but they all also have FB

I realized my 13 year old niece customized her status updates so I can't see them and realized I'm old that day.

AARP mailed me a card a couple of months ago. 

I'm 27. lol

They started mailing me stuff soon after I turned 31. Though they have since stopped. Perhaps they think I died of old age. Who knows. 

They called me about a month after I signed up for my first 401(k), at my first job out of college.  I was 23.

This is my biggest complaint about Facebook actually. I'm done trying to educate my 98-year-old conservative, Earth-hating, homophobic grandmother, and the last thing I want to do is give her a place to post her ALL CAPS hate where my friends can see it. If Facebook wasn't the best address book ever, I wouldn't be on it at all.

I wish my friends hadn't abandoned LiveJournal.

Good. I'm tired of my nieces and nephews spying on me on facebook.

Well they do have point. Facebook was so much better before the olds joined!

remember when you used to have to have a school email address to get a fb account?

Yes! FB added my college my freshman year. It was a big deal. Most of my high school friends weren't even on yet because their schools hadn't been added. Ahhh, the good old days. I think a few years later they started including high schoolers and it hasn't been the same since.

1) over my dead body will my girls be using snapchat
2) I'm glad I have a tech savvy H, because I can barely do a functional google search, let alone keep up with this social media shit. I'm going to trust him to put our house/network on lockdown in about 6 years...
3) My kids will probably hate life because we're going to only allow computers in the common areas of our home as loooong as possible, and I'm going to hold out on them getting a smartphone for, like, ever. What I'm really hoping is that one of the phone companies will come out with a smartphone that somehow keeps them from sending or posting pictures. Facial recognition block, automatic forward of all sent pictures to me, SOMETHING. Apple, you hear this? Make this happen!

You could just cover the camera with epoxy. This is what my dad and my H both did when they got transferred to no-camera-phones-allowed departments. Pretty easy and doesn't hurt the phone in any other way.

I follow my brother around social media he can't scape me
