My 18-year-old daughter, Lucy, left home for university this autumn and I have become her stalker. I am not on Facebook or Twitter, I don’t blog, I have no online presence. This summer, though, when Lucy went InterRailing, my children signed me up to Instagram and Snapchat so that I could follow her travels. Although she regularly went out until the early hours, I don’t recall waiting up or being unable to sleep while she was gone. Each university, hall of residence, faculty, tutor, society and sports team can be found on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.
