A friend request on facebook from your MOM??

In today's society the use of technology is non-stop. Because of this people from older generations are trying to keep up with us and stay updated with new technology. Our parents and grandparents are texting us, joining facebook, using ipods and smartphones and so many other things. It's getting scary. If it's not bad enough that you have to hear your parents say clean your room or don't stay out all night, now you'll get it through a text message or a comment on facebook. When my mom first texted me saying hi I transferred money into your account, I was excited for the money part but freaked out that my mother had just texted me! I said ew mom why are you texting me but now I love it. I can easily text her when I need to tell her something quick and now when she calls me while I am in class or work I can just text her "what's up, I can't pick up my phone". It's still a little weird when she tries to use "lol" or other text lingo but no matter how updated she is with our technology it will always be weird because she's my mom. Now when I go on facebook at home I see her email already entered into the login instead of mine. It's nuts. But I have seen her get in contact with her cousins and family that she never gets to speak to so that's good. Our parents keeping up with us isn't so bad but it can get weird.
