Former President, Barack Obama, is back with some words of wisdom!

Obama stopped by the University of Chicago to answer everyone’s questions about his future political career and the future of America’s youth. During his interview Obama dropped some truth bombs about selfie taking.

Mashable quotes Obama saying “in terms of how to deal with the fact that as you grow up you’re going to learn and change and evolve in all kinds of ways … the problem now with the internet is that the past is always there, one way to think about it is just to own it.”

“If we had pictures of everything I’ve done when I was in high school I probably wouldn’t have been President of the United States, so I would advise all of you to be a little more circumspect about your selfies and what you take pictures of.”

America’s overprotective dad also touched on his fear that “technology and social media help confine us to our own personal bubbles. If this generation is getting all its information from phones, you really don’t have to confront people who have different opinions or a different experience or outlook.”

Just like many fathers Obama believes in the youth of America and all the things that they can accomplish.
