Technology is taking over our lives.

I remember the day GSM came into Nigeria just like yesterday. I remembered how new it was to everyone and of course how people broke the bank to get a Sim not to talk of a feature phone as at back then.

Our parents at that time did not understand the culture shock that hit them. Generation Y were able to absorbed the pressure, I mean people who were born between 1980’s and 2000’s.

They practically advanced because they were already conversant with Game consoles: Tetris, super Mario e.t.c.. Around 2008 when Nokia came out with the Simbian phones our parents managed to keep up.  The Gen Y majorly used the Simbian phones.

In fact a lot of moms then seized there children’s phones, claiming that the phones were a distraction to the their educational growth.

What an excuse to hide from the truth. The truth was glaring, they could not stand their children doing all sorts with these devices and they were stuck with their feature phones.

But the equation has change, they simply revolted from 2013 we have witnessed a shift of parents especially mums owning smart phones.

Sometimes they claim they are trying to keep up with their husbands and monitoring his immoral actions in quote.

Well the facts are clear, 79% of smart phones owning moms use social media daily.

My mother is a typical example; since she got her iPhone she has being on top of social media. She constantly updates her Facebook profile; she is very active on Watsapp sharing contents, playing angry birds and many more exciting things she can lay her hands on.

Have you imagined your mom claiming to take a better Selfie than you do? or pouting when taking a Selfie? Sounds awkward but that’s the truth anyway.

The odds are quite alarming the figures are growing, I wont be surprised if a mobile phone company makes a smart phone for moms. Well

Gone were those days when moms would call there children help to send an SMS to a friend. They know it all
