Digital Sign of the End Times

It's time to get really familiar with the book of Revelations. You've heard of Conquest, War, Famine and Death; the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. I've got another, sure fire predictor that the world is coming to an end.

My mom is on Facebook.

I know what you're thinking. What does she mean? Why can't her mom be on Facebook?

My mom being on Facebook is a disturbing indicator of change in her acceptance of technology. My mom didn't have a mobile phone until 2003. She didn't have a BlackBerry, even for work, until 2007. She didn't have a home computer until 2008, and that was an old laptop of mine that I gave her. At this pace, I fear what's next! Bluetooth headset? Twitter? iPhone 3G S????

Just when you think you know them. They grow up so fast! Happy 60th birthday, Mom :)
