Social Media: And the Next Generation…

Wow, what a morning. My family and I have been passing around the same cold for the past week and today we all decided to simply do nothing and try to get healthy.

After playing games with both children, I decide to take a break and check my work email. About five minutes into this, my 3 year-old bum rushes our office, jumps on my lap and shouts “…let’s play some games man!…“

I’m thinking games on the computer? What 3 year-old plays games on the computer? When I was 3 years old (I’m 37), I played with rocks and sticks from the woods in our backyard.

My daughter immediately takes a leadership role and commands me to visit a number of her favorite sites – noggin and nick jr.

We then spend the next 2 hours bowling with Max & Ruby, speed racing with The Backyardigans and playing dress up with The Wonderpets.

I have to say I’m impressed and not by my daughters skill and reaction time. These sites are extensive. They have all faucets of social media – from blogs and forums for both kids & parents, video casts, interactive games / arts & crafts, etc..

Wow, I wonder how social media will after my children ten years from now…
