A Brief Conversation With My Daughter

Posted on September 12, 2024 by mitchteemley

untitled“Sheesh! You’re online all day doing that ‘social networking’ thing! Why don’t you go outside and get some fresh air? Don’t you have any real friends?”

“These are my real friends! Stop bugging me! You just don’t understand my generation!”

“OK, whatever, Dad. I only said something because I care about you.”

    I feel like my son had the same conversation with me last week (though about Zoom calls).

    Being alone the Internet give me reason for happiness and living. I love writing, posting, blogging. My life is on the net off the net there are my two cats Freddie and Morticia. I have online friends who I have never met but have known for over ten years. But that is me. I think the young generation should have a life off the net.

    Ha ha but there’s some truth to it. We the older generation is often worse than the young ones with our social networking.

    You’d better be thankful she doesn’t actually know any of us. You’d be banned outright!

    I am guilty of using social media too much. I’m hard of hearing and have used this as my communication of choice because if it. Whenever I can’t hear my husband, he says, “should I text you?” Such a funny guy🥸

    I think her reaction is typical. Unfortunately anxiety and other issues are way up and they are saying that is due to younger generations addiction to social media etc.

    Interestingly, I look upon some of my fellow bloggers as real friends. I have even met some in person. So, I understand.
