Mobile no...

I won the Masters of the Universe Castle Grayskull playset. There were Masters of the Universe chocolates and you had to send five wrappers in to win the competition. This is the best day of my life.

I love happy pants. I wear them everywhere. Big baggy happy pants. They are so cool. Mum made me some new ones that match my basketball uniform. This is the best day of my life.

The best food I’ve ever eaten in my life are Hitching Rail chips. I had them for tea tonight. This is the best day of my life.

You should see my new ten colour pen. It has ten colours including two different greens, two different blues, yellow, red, orange, purple, pink and black. And the ink smells. This is the best day of my life.

Have you ever had a dead lizard? It’s Coke with raspberry added. It’s like a party in your mouth and everyone’s invited. I’m never going to drink anything else again. I just had one. This is the best day of my life.

Lamborghini Countach’s are the coolest cars. When I’m older I’m going to buy one and fight crime. It will be the best day of my life.

Melissa Alexander is so cute. I’m going to marry her one day. It will be the best day of our life.

I hate my mum. We were at K-Mart today and I wanted to buy the new Poison CD Open Up and Say…Ahh! She said I couldn’t have it cos she didn’t like the cover. I’m

going to kill her in her sleep tonight then go buy the CD tomorrow. It will be the best day of my life.

I got a bowl haircut tonight. It’s when your mum puts a bowl on your head and then cuts around the bottom of it. I look so cool. It’s the best day of my life.

If there was social media between 1986 and 1990, this is the sort of stuff my friends and family would have been treated to. It’s fair to say that nothing much has aged well in the last thirty years. Except the Hitching Rail thing obviously. Okay, and Castle Grayskull. And dead lizards. But the rest of it is cringeworthy.

If there was social media back then, there would be pictures accompanying lots of these posts too. Pictures of me in baggy maroon and white happy pants. Pictures of a ridiculously impractical giant fat pen that my little hand could barely hold. Pictures of me with my homecut bowl haircut which wasn’t straight because mum had drunk a couple of bubblies and put the bowl on an angle.

And this is why young people shouldn’t have social media. I’ll even go a step further. Young people shouldn’t have phones. They don’t do anything useful with them anyway. They take stupid photos that they share with the world, make stupid comments that they share with the world, have stupid online arguments that they share with the world. Some of them even take photos of their private bits and pieces and share them with a trusted friend… who shares them with the world. They don’t use the phone for any productive purpose.

The rubbish that the young people are churning out on their Facespace and their Snap Tok is going to be haunting them for the rest of their lives. They’re going to look back at the absolute dribble they’ve put out into the world with shame in decades to come. And it’s not like the photo albums and slides that I was able to hide in the cupboards at home, never to be seen again. This stuff is on the internet, and as we know, once it’s on the internet, it’s there forever. Their ancestors will be looking at this stuff decades from now.

And don’t even get me started on the rubbish my mum would have been putting on social media. Instead of just telling me I was a disappointment and destined to be a burden on society, she would have been able to publish it to the world wide web so that all her criminal collaborators and former (and current) cellmates could shake their heads at little Robbie.
