It is funny how the isolated impression of one 15-year-old is being used to define an entire generation's supposed social networking habits.

I am a boomer, but no particular fan of boomers, yet one who will stand up and say that boomers, like others, come in all shapes and sizes and are not all strutting peacocks, contrary to what the author says or implies.

And since when does using social networking to better connect with friends, or for any of a number of business, social, or other purposes, become a mere outlet for vanity?

Even if his premise were true, the author does a lame job of advancing it.
