How do you use social media?

View all responses

This should be a pretty easy question to answer. I don’t use social media at all. I’ve had a Facebook account that I never used or knew how to use aside from googling certain people who I know have the account. I also had a brief stint talking to people online but this did not last long. I don’t post things on Facebook and I’ve only heard of platforms like twitter and Instagram, ETC. I’m one of the few people who never fully adopted digital habits as the world became digital. I’ve always been old school as far as this is concerned. To be fair, you could say that this has sort of changed as I have acquired a place on this site. I’m starting to post more things and be on the computer for something other than just purchasing my monthly bus pass. This was as much as I was using my computer before I got my place on this site. I surf the web on my phone and send emails sometimes. Of course everybody knows about the movie reviews I do. So I suppose little by little I’ve sort of adopted some liking for the digital age. However, I think this is as much as I will get as far as being a social butterfly to use the old saying. I’m nowhere near the average person who can spend hours on end posting almost everything about themselves and who just can’t seem to not be on their phone all the time. Ok so maybe I’m on my phone about as much as everybody else. I mean, I call my mother 100 times a day to the point where it annoys her. So despite me saying that I have not adopted digital habits, this is a bit of a lie. I do use the internet enough to say that I do use social media but definitely not to the extent of the average person. In other words, I’m basically old school.

Just to prove how important this site is to me, my next in home movie review, (hence a movie that I have not seen in theatres,) is Eurotrip as my final tribute to Michelle Trachtenberg. I know I keep saying I will watch it and it seems a little late to be paying tribute to her but I’ve been busy. Everybody can look forward to my review on Eurotrip.
