"Wait," he says. "This is Facebook. This is my school's Facebook page."
"Yes, it is." I say.
"But I didn't think you had an account," he says.
"It's a public page. You don't need an account to see it," I say.
Two things here:
- My son understands what Facebook is.
- My son somehow knows that I don't have an account.
Whatever it may be, it won't be Facebook. Recent poll numbers show that teens are leaving Facebook for other social platforms. That's not really surprising: Don't all children abandon something once their parents adopt it? It can't possibly be cool anymore if your whole family uses it.
So, I will wait until my son is older and wants to join whatever all his friends have joined. And then I will join, too. (And it will instantly become uncool.)
Do you join all the same social networks that your child is on? Tell me in the comments.
