Are parents getting too tech savvy

Is it just me or are parents getting too tech savvy?
I’m all for my parents being able to work a computer competently enough to where they wont call me bothering me about how to make the little paperclip get off the screen, but I think they cross the line when they start getting Myspace and Twitter.
They don’t see our generation tampering with technology from their time and I have yet to even see an 8-track player in person.  Also most online gaming sites are over populated with middle-aged men staying up at all times of the night battling each other on World of Warcraft.
Don’t you people have careers or other “grown folks” things to do? I was just out one day minding my own business when I saw a lady in her late 40s playing a game on her iPhone, since when is it cool for them to know how to work an iAnything. Furthermore, why have many parents resulted in fussing through a text message, or better yet, why can they text as fast as us. Also why do they get more excited about new technology coming out than their children?
Is it because they can afford to buy this stuff with their “real job” money? I have witnessed many parents buying Playstation 3s, mind you not for their children but instead for themselves. It makes no sense to see a grown man with a 401k standing in line outside of Gamestop to buy Guitar Hero 5 and get angry when a little kid buys the last copy. Why cant these parents be more like their parents – closed-minded and unwilling to use a device smaller than 1990s cellphone (you know the ones so big that you have look for a slot to put in a quarter before dialing a number).
The world is moving forward in technology this much is true, but when we as a generation do we say “OK dad, stop sending me this forwarded text message telling me to this to 10 other people,” there is nothing wrong with using the old fashion ways of bugging or embarrassing your children so please don’t take our most popular way to talk about you to our friends. There is no need for you to be your child’s friend on Facebook and leaving them messages in their honesty box—they know its you—its just down right wrong to mix the two.
The only thing worst than a parent that is tech savvy is one that isn’t but still buys all this stuff and want you teach them how to use. I don’t mind showing anyone how to use anything but let me do the talking, I spend more time listening to you tell me how to explain this contraption than actually explaining.
 Do everyone a favor and let the guy at Best Buy show you what to do before you leave the store, its less stressful on our youth.
Another thing if you don’t trust my word or the certifiable help provided by the store—read the instructions—that way you won’t have some smart-aleck so-and-so trying to tell you what to do. All in all, its good for parents to know how to function in this ever growing technological age but please respect our boundaries.
Stay out off of these social networks and chat rooms, steer clear of these high price games that you won’t share with your children, and please don’t fuss at me through a text message —that’s just rude.
