Facebook is for old people. The VMAs are for old people. So are the Emmys, People Magazine, Oscars and TMZ.  E-mail is for really old people.

I know way more than my fourteen year old son about A) who Miley Cirus brought to the VMAs (a homeless guy), B) the name of Beyoncé’s daughter (Blue Ivy), and C) the latest Ariana Grande-Nicki Minaj song (Bang-Bang – looks like child porn). Jonah says that his friends don’t talk about Hollywood gossip or even have favorite bands. Some of the girls occasionally talk about Taylor Swift.

So, what do they do? Well, they will power watch a favorite show on Netflix. My son watched all nine seasons of the Office this summer. 300 hours of TV! On his laptop. I’m really proud.

Both of my kids spend a lot of time watching other people playing video games on YouTube. It’s so, so, so boring. I don’t get it. Don’t know about Twitch? Read this and this.

Twitch isn’t the only game in town.  There’s Captain Sparklz on YouTube for Minecraft, and Harry101UK for Portal 2. Jonah likes Miniminter for FIFA 14, Inside Gaming and RoosterTeeth. Check out the hit numbers on those videos. Millions.

They spend a lot of time on YouTube watching news shows and music. But really silly music. Ian loves Weebl’s Stuff.

For worldwide soccer, Jonah looks at KickTV and Football Daily. There’s also Bundesliga.

For science, Jonah watches Vsauce.

For animination, there’s Domics.

Ian first music downloads have all been music from his favorite video games, like Portal 2.
