Comments on: Facebook & the Much Younger Generation https://templeadlib.com/facebook-the-much-younger-generation/ The Experiences of Temple Advertising Students Sun, 01 Apr 2012 17:47:47 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.1 By: Katie Schmitt https://templeadlib.com/facebook-the-much-younger-generation/comment-page-1/#comment-5479 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 17:47:47 +0000 https://www.templeadlib.com/?p=11348#comment-5479 I completely agree, It started to hit me that the generation behind me started to use Facebook when I received a friend request from my second cousin. I used to babysit him and honestly was a little reluctant to “accept” the request. Not because the content on my profile (I make sure to keep mine pretty professional) but because it was just strange that a kid in middle school was using social media. I am curious to see what happens in the coming years!

And, I wonder of what importance social media needs to have in a minor’s life today…(I think, very little if any personally.) They don’t need to ‘network’; they do that already on the playground, while bike riding and playing house. Where does social media and the internet play into fostering a child’s imagination today?
