By Shannon McCarty-Caplan “Can you hear that?” my mother shouts arm’s length distance from the phone. “What am I listening for?” I reply. “A buzzing and whooshing sound, coming from my computer,” she yells again. This is just an example of the tech support request calls I get regularly from my cute little mama. She…

By Shannon McCarty-Caplan I’m an idiot. Recently, I received a direct Twitter message from my one of my closest friends late one night. It said, “did you see this picture of you lol” and included a shortened web link. Considering that my friend is a photographer who I know has photos of me, it wasn’t strange…

By Shannon McCarty-Caplan I struck up a conversation with a woman on the airport train last night, when she asked me about my Samsung Galaxy SIII Android phone.

By Shannon McCarty-Caplan I accidently started following my friend’s 10-year-old daughter on Instagram thinking it was my friend’s account and she was simply posting photos of her daughter “Ashley.”   I didn’t think 10-year-olds were on this very adult photo sharing mobile app.  WRONG.  Seizing the opportunity to check up on Ashley and her friends, I’m…

By Shannon McCarty-Caplan My best friend recently posted photos of her daughter “Angela” on Facebook. Angela is adorable; she’s 6 going on 16. It’s been a pleasure having the privilege of watching her grow up through Facebook, as Angela lives halfway around the world from me. Something disturbed me about the pics though. I know…
