I have 3 kids. 24, 22, 20. None have ever had a Facebook account.

Instagram and Snapchat.

Young people aren’t on to begin with. My 21 year old son was on a lot when he was in high school. My 18 and 17 year old have never used it once. Don’t even have accounts. Snap Chat and Instagram are what they use.

I’d probably move over to Fakebook if I could break free of MySpace.

(just kidding)

It was kind of fun in 2008 & 2009.
Facebook killed itself with stupid changes, spying and suppression.

In roughly four years, I think that a quarter of the current Facebook crowd will have gone away and closed out their accounts. At that point, Zuckerberg may try to sell the media to someone, in hopes of just walking away with some bucket of cash. For me now, I never post to Facebook, and I might look over at it maybe once a week.

Of course, that’s how them young whippersnappers talk to grandma and grandpa.

The kiddo’s won’t post anything remotely revealing fearing mom, dad and the rest of the clan will be lurking. More of a family and friends version of LinkedIn.

I’ve never used any social media,and I have a very full social life. How is this possible?

And the old people have 5 to 10 accounts as they keep forgetting how to log on.

Snapchat seems to be the thing with teens. It’s tougher to monitor what they are posting, but it does have a feature where you can track their location.

This only confirms what I have suspected for some time.

I’m old.
