Last holiday season was the first time that I accumulated enough funds (read: got a “real job” and stopped living on my mother’s account) to purchase a substantial holiday present for the person who gave me life. The gift? A new laptop to replace her archaic machine from the Ninth Circle. Simply gifting someone else’s creation wasn’t enough, though--I wanted to personalize the experience.
I constantly change my desktop background. Here are a few instances:
Commemorate an important event or holiday, like a birthday or a national day Promote or anticipate a major upcoming event, like a new movie or sports event Rectify a bad day (or week) with a motivational quote or inspirational figures (a silhouette of Martin Luther King Jr. is a personal favorite) Demonstrate loyalty to “your side” if you’re part of a rivalry--from sports teams to mobile phone operating systems (e.g. I’ve had an Android army robot before) Mirror seasonal or environmental changes, such as a snowy background for the holidays or a beach during the summer My mother and I, when I still listened to her attentively

My parents were like that too. Well, in regards with the internet, if they were ever suspicious of something online. They'd sign up as me! The password a variation of my birth date no less.
Very nice :) haha mom still loves that background and refuses to change it.
Thank you for sharing a nice article.
