What's all the hype about?

I have a teenager in the house. He and I have a pretty good relationship...ok, who am I kidding?? After my divorce from his father(Zach was 5 at the time), it was just me and him against the world. I had very little help from the "ex-man", physically or financially. Z and I were as close as mother and son could be...yep, I guess he WAS a mama's boy. Today, as I've watched him grow into his knew 'identity', and become a young man...well...lets just say, he does have a mind of his own. He seems to think that I reside on ANOTHER PLANET! At the present time, our relationship appears to consist of battling for who gets more time on the internet. Z just doesn't 'get' the point of this blog or the reason that I would even want to sign -on in the first place. I'm waaaay toooo old for this stuff. In his opinion, the world wide web belongs to him, his music, his friends, Facebook, and MySpace. I don't 'get' what all the hype is about! I don't understand the reasoning behind Facebook at all. Who wants to keep up with EVERY move that someone makes? I mean, I love you guys...but I don't need to know when you have to go 'tinkle'! I do admit I'm on Facebook but in my defense, only because a family member in another state invited me. I didn't go looking for it. I didn't research it and so far...I don't like it. Maybe I am too old for this stuff.
