Happy Social Media Day Friends! According to National Day Calendar, today is Social Media Day! It “has redefined how people interact, communicate, and share with family, friends, and the world [in its short life].” I find this to be eerily true- yet fascinating- that we’ve rapidly evolved and adapted to technology so fast. We’ve changed how we access the news, special events, and even how we order food thanks to social media and technology. What better way to acknowledge this little occasion than a few fun facts?
