Introducing: Digital Dictators

We have all become accustomed with the internet and even depend upon the net to run everything in our economy creating a Digital World occupied by increasing numbers daily. Now we have a new generation that depends upon the net to survive.

Introducing The Digital Dictator

Digital Dictators are establishing themselves within the net and taking over at a rapid pace. Children accessing the net before they can walk, while retirees join the internet for the first time. 

What and who is a digital dictator?
Yours, mine and ours: the children. My nine-year old can type faster than her father, while my thirteen-year old manages several conversations all at once. Our digital world has generated an interesting social dynamic amongst our children.

I first came across this notion when I witnessed a child threatening his mom with Facebook friendship. An entry written in my other blog Regaling Retail called Kids Threatening Parents. The child told his mom that he would unfriend her if she didn't by him the skinny jeans. 

Now he could of been joking around with his mom, but the very fact that he used such a tactic put my mind to wonder, "Could it be true in some families?" Are parents truly allowing their children to run roughshod over their parental authority through digital dictation?
