This morning while I was on the bus, I got to see some wildlife—because there were 20 high school boys onboard with me. Despite the early hour, they were wide awake and very active. It was a rare chance to observe them up close.

 

One kid actually swung from an overhead pole to get a laugh out of his friends. Another was eating breakfast. An entire row of them had busied themselves with scrolling through Instagram. In what was maybe the most remarkable of all their behaviors, one kid scrolled past numerous posts: a Fortnite video, picture of friends, and then stopped at an image that simply said “Double tap if you love your mom”—and guess what he did? He double tapped. A victory for moms everywhere. Or, maybe for the conditioning behind social media?

 

Yikes, I’ve stumbled into some actual science here. And now, I will back away slowly by offering you these posts from the Jobs Board:

 

• Director, Digital Library Development, UC Santa Barbara Library
