It takes me, on average, 2-3 months before I get wind of a social media trend or news. My other family members who still have active social media accounts are the ones who would clue me in on it. I was at a work-related conference on AI recently and the guy I was speaking with was asking me what life without having a regular social media account feels like. It was during that moment in the conference where people were exchanging Linkedin profiles that I realized how differently I use my internet connection now.
