I don't know when it happened, but it seems like our older generations have finally caught onto the social media wave.
Not only are they joining the site, but they're extremely active on it too.
Every time I log onto Facebook now, I'm just about sure to see a friend's parent in my status updates section.
I see this as a great thing.
It seems like people are reconnecting with friends from the past who they haven't been in touch with in years.
This is exactly why I love sites like Facebook to begin with, and I'm glad to see that older Internet users are taking advantage of the platform.
It's funny to see someone's father setting up a profile, filling in the information about themselves, and sharing photo albums.
It's even funnier to see them updating their status and everything else that comes with it.
A generation that once depended on the phone as a means of keeping in touch no longer needs to do so.
The casual process of leaving a post on someone's wall or commenting on a photo has seriously taken hold with baby boomers.
As for whether or not this trend keeps up, I couldn't tell you the answer for sure.
Still, it looks like social media will be here to stay, as nearly every living generation is now taking advantage of the ease of communication offered through the medium.
So, it's official.
What started out as a communications platform popular with college kids has officially come full circle.
Not only are people five years younger and ten years older using it, but their parents have steadily begun to embrace it too.
Will grandparents be next by any chance? It wouldn't surprise me if they were.
Next time you're on Facebook, take a look around.
There's a good chance that you'll witness what I've observed too!
