Content on the internet, possibly more than any other form of mass communication is driven by users - right? I have a laptop, and an internet connection and BAM! I have a blog about... ...whatever my blog is about when I get around to doing posts.
Today it occurred to me that if babies were the ones generating content the internet would be a much different place. Since my baby is "older" (crawling but not walking) lots of my examples relate to that stage. I started posting these on Twitter with the hashtag #ifbabiesrantheinternet but the (incredibly small portion of the) Twitterverse that (theoretically) knows I exist is ignoring them, so here they are for my loyal blog readers:
Blog posts and news stories would change to include the following:
- "Everything You Want to Know about Your Older Sibling's Bedroom (but can't get in to find out)"
- Tips for avoiding long car trips.
- "Hanging out with Daddy and Other True Stories of Surviving in the Midst of Adversity" (Sorry!)
- "17 Really Good Reasons to Cry (With 2 Foolproof Reasons for those Who Can't Count to 17)"
- "Tired Parents and Other Myths"
- Inspiring stories of resisting sleep training.
- Tips for maintaining proper boob access.
- "7 Signs it's Time to Drop that Pesky Morning Nap."
- "Five Scientifically Verified Reasons Why Food on Mommy's Plate Tastes Better."
- Ironic lists of stuff moms freak out about.
- Advice about strategic times to poop.
- Great parodies of adults saying stuff like "did you poop?"
- Snarky social media posts about siblings with all their teeth not really being better at biting people.
- Theories about why adults find "peek-a-boo" so entertaining.
- Shocking revelations about objects it that are not pleasant to put in the mouth.
- Instagram pics of tasty snacks found under the kitchen table.
- A lot more videos of people dropping things.
I'm sure there are plenty more of these. What have I missed?
