Millennials Are Tired of Traditional Social Media Platforms Run by Billionaire Zuckerbergs
We now have a way out.
Do you disco?
Her french accent transported me to another world. “Of course I do.” We went to the local disco on a Saturday night back in 2004. I shook the DJ’s hand to look cool. She didn’t care.
We went to the back room to get a drink and chill. A friend of hers pulled out a 3-megapixel camera. “You two look cute. Picture?”
Without time to respond her friend took a picture of us. I liked pictures. They’re memories my brain would forget due to mental illness. I asked her to email me the picture. I expected a simple response. The loud music muffled her answer.
“I’ll put it on The Facebook.”
I had no idea what she was talking about. I don’t want my face to feature in a book of faces. I just want the damn photo. That night I got home and sent her a text message. She sent me a link to ‘The Facebook.’ I went through a painful sign up process, all for one silly picture.
Turns out she went to Harvard University and was part of a Zuckerberg experiment that would later reshape our lives forever.
