A parent today will protect their kids and parents of tomorrow will do the same. That's the part the many who feel otherwise are missing. The need for privacy comes natural for those very reasons. Chris Parandian is right in the sense that there IS a shift going on and it involves media usage and social networking...but that shift will get stymied when a child gets marketed too.

But I'll bet there will be a mortgage involved. And that'll bring someone down to earth real quick! There's also a maturity and an inherent instinct toward protecting our clan when we have children. We may have evolved over the centuries but we're still survivors by nature, and I think our deep association with caring for the family jewels, if you will, might trump most other things. I enjoy your site, Best, Judy Hello Jonathan,
