Well, the next generation (literally) in social sharing has
bubbled to the top. Posting a video of the stick turning blue/pink or +/- with
pregnancy results online the moment it happens. I knew this was next way back in January when
we were discussing ultrasound parties, because this is a nation of over-sharers.
A quick search on YouTube of “pregnancy test results” brings
up over 42,000 results. Go ahead and try it, we’ll wait………
Again, I say, this fascination with videotaping and sharing
every private moment of your lives is narcissistic and sad. In a world where Instagram and YouTube is
used by millions of people, I can see it happening that a gal gets so excited
when she sees she’s pregnant that, out of habit, she hits the share button to
upload the video just before she realizes that she hasn’t even told the baby
daddy yet. Ooops. Oh well, he can read it on his Twitter feed…??
Now I understand getting on FaceBook and posting, ”Hey,
guess what, we’re pregnant!” and things of the such, but the world doesn’t need
to be in the bathroom with you by way of video feed. Is there nothing private anymore?
Apparently not, because there will be some kids in a few
years that will hate their parents when they realize mommy also videotaped them
potty training and posted that for the whole world to see too….for ever…and
ever…. on the internet. Thank goodness
there was no YouTube when I was a kid!
