13 Things That Could Happen If Social Media Disappeared

Kind of interesting article from Readers Digest Feb 2021 ...

https://www.rd.com/list/if-social-media-disappeared/

Note: I didn't even realize 'Readers Digest' still existed ha ... still got some of the little pamphlet magazines my folks had laying around. Might be interesting reading now-a-days if I go find those things right.

been a few like maybe oh my 17 years since I had any newspaper delivered to the front door. Another thing I'm not sure they do anymore wow. This FB outage today put me on 'fast forward' a bit lol. Never delivered news papers as a kid on a bike, but always wanted to ha.
