We had all downloaded Poke so we could try it out firsthand. Looking
around, I thought it was funny that here we were, standing around the
kitchen counter, and rather than speaking to one another, everyone was
looking down at their phones, frantically texting and sending one
another vanishing messages on the Poke app. “Say cheese!” I said,
pulling out my camera. “Pretend you’re all sexting!” Everyone made funny
faces, and I snapped a quick photo.
I don’t often post intimate family photos online, because I am a firm
believer that you can (and should!) have meaningful relationships with
people that you don’t necessarily need to broadcast out to the world all
the time. I never post anything online that I wouldn’t feel comfortable
having reprinted on the front page of a newspaper. And this photo was
the turducken of tech photos: Facebook family, using Facebook, on Facebook.
So, I posted it to Facebook (under the friends-only privacy setting)
and headed home to tuck my son into bed. I had no idea what was in store
for me.
