Ahhh the 21st Century... The years of new technologies and futuristic living. Awesome right?! Maybe for us but there a series of reasons why I'm happy I'm not a kid in this century. I'll apologize to my baby when he's old enough to know that it's sincere.
1. Social Media
Of course this is first because social media is the root of everything wrong with the world. But mostly parents of the 20th century post EVERYTHING on social media which often include not so flattering photos of their kids

While every year and every century has there advantages from the last Im sure you can think of at least two reasons why you aren't a kid in the one you're in. Imagine what our parents lists would look like!

Great post... you've raised a couple of things I haven't thought of. Amen re vocabulary! Just think, with the constant assistance of spell check a lot of children of this generation wouldn't be very good with grammar and spelling.
ReplyDeleteI love last thought: Image what our parents' lists would like like. I may just pose this question to my mom (she's in her mid 70s); it'll be interesting to hear what she says.
