Grandmother’s Advice On Social Media

Grandmother knows best. But this is the kind of advice you wouldn’t expect from your grandma!
- Don’t spend time on Google+. It’s like Facebook without your friends.
- Vimeo has more quality, but YouTube has more content.
- Don’t trust anyone who uses Xing as main social media.
- Never play World of Warcraft. It’s really, really, really addictive.
- Don’t trust all what you read and see on Wikipedia
- Don’t just Tweet for the sake of tweeting.
- Never ever let your partner know your password. Believe me.
- Don’t think you’re a photographer just because you use Instagram.
- Don’t buy an app that has an ugly logo.
A project by Chacho Puebla from Spain, his sister and great-aunt, we bet these photos will end up in many a Powerpoint presentation.
As my son gets older and I get more grey hair, I wonder what kind of advice will I give to my grandchildren. My three grandmothers where always giving me sermons instead of tips. “Be carfeul with your moneyâ€. “Don’t get involved with that girlâ€, “Saveâ€, “Get a haircut, you look like a hippieâ€, and all those classic parent, grandparent comments. When you’re younger you think you’ll never fall into that same kind of discourse, until you find yourself talking about stupid (cliché) stuff with your kid, about how important school is and if you don’t have a degree you’re nobody. I hope I can give better advice some day. In the meantime, here are some tips my grandmother should have given me. The photo is of my great-aunt. The photographer one of my sisters, Lula.
