How Miranda uses the Internet
Hopes, Fears, Dreams
From an early age, Miranda knew she was going to be a great mother. She knows it sounds cheesy, but Miranda’s ultimate life goal
is to raise her children into happy, productive adults. Her biggest fear is not being able to protect her children from the things that
life throws at them.
As a stay-at-home mom, the majority of Miranda’s time spent on the Internet is to keep in touch with family and keep her children’s
busy schedules organized. While she knows she can get email updates to her iPhone 4, she prefers to check her inbox twice a day
– once in the morning and once in the evening – on her PC. She usually checks Facebook at this time, as well. Miranda’s children
helped her set up a Twitter account and showed her how to follow their school sports teams’ accounts, but she’s not sure she
understands the purpose of the platform. She wonders why the coaches and teachers at the schools can’t just email her.
Miranda prides herself in keeping a healthy and happy home. She thinks of herself as the “cool mom” and has always encouraged
her kids to have friends over for play dates and sleepovers. From social media trends to popular brands, Miranda pays close
attention to the conversations her kids have with their friends and tries to make sure they always have what they need and want.
Because she has a high regard for safety, sometimes her kids accuse her of being over protective.
