Those are cool facts. I, myself, can't name 5 people that aren't part of atleast 1 social media site. I don't think i can even name 5 that aren't part of atleast 2! Cool facts dono!
ReplyDeleteThose facts are great and correct. I can think of only one person in college that openly stated she never belonged to any of the social media sites listed. Great information, I never thought of it like that.
