It's odd... the sociologists of the future will be drowning in material though.<br /><br />Those Granddad glasses, oh those glasses, I spent most of my teens and into my early 20s trying to get my dad to go for an eye test and get rid of his pair, no sooner does he get settled into his new glasses for a few years then they're suddenly fashionable and everywhere!!! Mercifully he isn't (so far) bought another pair. I have seen pictures of him back in the 60s wearing that style of glasses that's how long he wore them for.<br /><br />I have never taken a selfie (not sure how to), but then I just turned 30, what do I know?The Foggy Knitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06052717128048264313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7907318835461639396.post-46251780371813186922015-01-16T10:43:21.989+01:002015-01-16T10:43:21.989+01:00Oh I do agree.

As someone who has embraced the internet for its ability to get me all of the free information that I can cram into my head, my many and copious hard drives and stuffed into crevices in the walls as well as to deliver my second husband Stevie-boy to my doorstep, I feel a bit mingy complaining about it BUT what can be used for great good (knowledge, social interaction between sad bored people and the aged like us ;) ) can also be used for enormous stupidity. They even sell selfie sticks now so that you can get that right bit of distance between yourself and your camera-phone out there. Social media is breeding a race of ever increasingly envious anorexics who MUST check in constantly to all of their social media sites just in case something is "trending" that they might miss out on. Talk about an advertisers dream! I love the new pope by the way. I am in NO way Catholic, but he makes me smile. I doubt he will live much longer with his antiestablishmentarianism but long may he reign as a man of the people!
