Your MySpace Account: Your Future Kids’ Worst Nightmare

I had this thought while i was drinking tea this morning: What would happen to your Facebook and MySpace Accounts, YouTube videos and Blogspot posts 10 or 20 years from now? Social network accounts today could be the Mom and Dad jokes of the future.

I recall how I laughed as a kid when I browsed old photo albums and saw how goofy my dad looked in his 70′s disco-themed shirts and bell-bottom pants. (Add to that who lanky he looked wearing them :P ) So, if Google is able to maintain the its business two decades from now, and when the Internet Archive is able to improve its infrastructure by that time, I could imagine a slew of jokes on how someone’s dad “looked like a loser during the 2000′s.”

Actually, this concept is taking the whole social network background check on potential employees a bit further and in a different context. So, the lesson here is that make sure your life web life is fun enough to justify the potential embarassment your kids will have in the future. :P
