[Can't lose what you never had...]

A lot of what we take for granted these days did not exist during our parents' time. Flat-screen TVs, smart-phones, laptop, tablet PCs, etc.

One of these things, is Facebook. I don't know why I suddenly thought of this, but let's imagine FB is around for the next 50 years. By then, I would be in my 80s. Eventually, I will die. After I'm gone, what will my kids do? They go through my stuff, maybe close my online accounts.

And maybe, to understand the kind of man their father was, before closing his FB account, they take a look at his life. To see what he went through. To maybe preserve some memories of the father they knew.

They look through his timeline. They see the photos he shared of his grand-children. They see photos of themselves when they were young, when they were growing up. They see photos of their parents together. Maybe on their wedding day. A tear forms in their eye, and they gently wipe it away.

And then they go back a little further and see the rubbish stuff their father shared on FB. A silly photo, a funny post from Failbook, a photo of himself when he was drunk out of his mind.

Mmm...

Excuse me while I delete some stuff from my FB.
