We're stuck in that era. Where technology is the only way to keep up with the new trends that only seem to originate on social media. Do we like it? Do we not?
So here's what happened today.
So I finally did it. I took the leap today and spent my time signing up for both Pinterest AND Tumblr. It's sad, right?
I know I swore that I'd never get Tumblr, but please don't judge me. We must work through this together. It will require effort on both out parts to help me out of this 'social media crisis'.
But maybe I don't want help?
In my opinion, in the few hours I've spent on both of them so far...they're actually fun. I stand corrected. However, signing up for Tumblr did make me somewhat embarrassed. I now feel like a tween. I don't want to be one of those twelve year old girls who posts about One Direction and Justin Bieber. No, I refuse to do that. Instead, and I believe somewhat better, I will post inspiring pictures and cute quotes.
I think that's better?
On the other hand, Pinterest is actually really engaging! I plan to use it to find good recipes, places to travel to and other amazing fashion things. In a way, it feels like the Tumblr for adults.
So we will see how these social media sites go. I figured that since I want to be a journalist, I should maybe try out all of them just for a while so that I can at least say I know how to use them. However, I said that same thing about Twitter and over 600 tweets later I'm still using it.
Social media is the present and it's here to stay. Whether we like it or not, it's only going to get more prominent in our lives. We can either embrace it or shun it, but whatever we choose to do, we at least need to keep track of it. It's the conversation topic of the twenty-first century.
What do you think?
