Tanner Saur's curator insight, March 14, 2016 11:25 AM
     So this article is basically discussing what your kids perspective of you posting things about them on social media. Study's from the University of Washington show that children agree with their parents in regards to not texting while driving, not using your phone when talking to someone (in most cases), but there was one difference in opinion. Children ages 10 to 17 generally stated that they do not want their parents to post about them on social media without asking them first. This is because they are aware of the social media carbon footprint that you will leave behind if you do this. More and more employers now are viewing social media posts of potential employees and judging them for the hiring process. Children this age are also very self conscious of themselves when you take a picture where they are sleeping for example, or when they are not ready. Studies are showing that this age is going to get lower and lower when children start to care about how their parents present them on social media, ESPECIALLY, without their permission. With social media and the internet in general becoming more and more popular to younger generations, soon everyone will be able to surf the web and access all types of search engines and sites.
