Technology seems to be changing the way we soicalised. For example my son has just turned 16 and so we were trying to organise a party. He enjoys music and his original idea was to hire a small hall and get his friend's band to play at the party to about 20 invited guests. I had to veto this idea due to the fact that technology allows instant notification of party details and this allows gatecrashers to be almost a certainly.
The next idea was to have a party at my parents' place on a Saturday evening. There is a large room down stairs where they can play music and an inground pool for swimming. This idea was veto for the exact same reason above.
24 years ago this kind of party would of and did take place and without the fear of gatecrashers arriving and causing damaged.
The immediacy of instant notification allows individuals to act on impulse and the results of this impulsive behaviour is quickly changing the way we celebrate significant milestones in our lives.
Cheers
