will i be able to survive in the future without social media?

[BILL]

seriously... never had a facebook, no tweets, instagram seems pretty cool but never done it. would i be hurting myself by not having "outlets" such as these?

i never got into facebook because of the definition of "friends." twitter, i can't imagine why anyone would care what i have to say. instagram, sure everyone enjoys photos, but it all seems like a popularity contest... if you don't have over 40 likes, then maybe you're a nobody (crap like that). it also bugs me to be sitting around with a group of friends/acquaintances and everyone is checking their phones every 5 minutes for updates.

i guess what got me wanting to ask this, was i saw a picture online that said something like... "you're gonna send me a picture? i'm on facebook, twitter, and instagram... wtf?" as if to say sending someone a picture text is outdated, when you can just share it through "better" avenues.

so in your opinion, do i need to get out of the dark ages and join these things? wasn't my life fine/good enough prior to all these crazes?

people survived just fine even before the internet was invented, so i dont see why you should feel pressured to be a part of something you dont want to be a part of

a strange question coming from someone who is a top contributor in singles and dating

obviously you use social media if you are on yahoo answers that often

...all a bunch of crap in reality. I use ZERO of those either. Life is good. Sheeple love all that garbage.
