Social-networking websites such as Facebook.com and Myspace.com, have always publicized that they were not just for teenagers, and college students. In past years I have know of a few professors and older friends who had joined the facebook community, but I never thought I would see the day when my mom would have a facebook. Instead of just receiving the usual phone calls and emails that I have received in the past from my parents, I now have to deal with my mother being able to stalk my every move, and im me as soon as I sign online. I really hate it, not to mention she doesn’t even know how to use it correctly. In the past month she has also recruited all of my aunts and my 70 year old grandmother to join.
In the article, Twittermoms Shows Why Twitter Needs Groups, it can be easily assumed that it isn’t just my mother who has joined the virtual world. My parents generation now understands the perks to the social networking sites that they have grounded us from in the past because we spend too much time on them.
