Show Notes


Social media are interactive digitally mediated technologies that facilitate the creation or sharing/exchange of information, ideas, career interests, and other forms of expression via virtual communities and networks. Wikipedia


As socially inclined creatures, human beings have embraced technology that connects us with others. Every year, there is an increasing number of people signing up for and using social media. While there weren’t even a billion people using social media back in 2010, the number exceeded more than 2 billion within just five years.

In 2019, there were around 2.77 billion people using social media. And, with smartphones and internet connectivity becoming cheaper and easier to access, we should expect to see these numbers grow even higher. By 2021, more than 3 billion people will be using social media.

At that time, I was not active on social media:

Why?

Where does this leave us now?  Current State of 2021?

With Covid being what it is, I read this the other day – posting it on social media:

“The pandemic has forced us into a massive social experiment.  We’ve never been apart quite like this before.  Has COVID-19 fundamentally changed our social lives or simply paused them?  Nearly half of Americans say they feel uneasy thinking about in-person interaction once the pandemic ends, according to the American Psychological Association’s 2021 Stress in America report.  Adults who received a COVID-19 vaccine were just as likely as those who haven’t been vaccinated to express unease.”
