"Parents don’t understand. It’s about being there in the moment."
In WHAT moment? That moment when someone snapchats a snapchat for the sake of snapchatting?
Hey, I have a 14yo son who texts like a maniac and never takes his earbuds out of his ears. He has hundreds of thousands of views on his G+ profile, which is the thing him and his friends are all over. But lately they've moved to Facebook because they follow their favorite Bands' pages.
It's so confusing.
If our parents wanted to know what was going on in our lives, they quietly picked up the other phone on the land-line in the house and eavesdropped.
Now, we have to snoop and lurk on our kids' social profiles, or try to sneak a peak at their texts when their phones buzz.
I don't think the knowing-what-your–kids-are-up-to part is that much different, at least for me. If my parents had wanted to snoop on my social life in high school, they would've had to figure out how to dial up BBSs, which they didn't really have any understanding of. Granted, Snapchat has a much bigger userbase than BBSs did.
