Everyday is Social Media Day

Bombarded with status updates? Drowning in selfies? Suzanne Harrington on why she’s over digital bragging.

Everyday is Social Media Day

YOU KNOW those made up events that are scattered across the calendar — National Cauliflower Day, World Chilblain Awareness Week? Well, here is one that seems even more superfluous than the rest — World Social Media Day, coming up at the end of the month. Is it because we don’t already spend enough hours staring at cats on the internet while compulsively doing online quizzes to find out which character we are in Orange Is The New Black? (I got Crazy Eyes.)

If you are aged anywhere between nine and 99 then everyday is social media day. The reason for this is simple — social media is always about our all-time favourite subject — ourselves. Nothing is too trivial to share. Toast for breakfast? Tweet it! Walking the dog? Post it on YouTube. Got some new socks? Instagram it. Feeling a bit bored? Change your Facebook status to ‘feeling a bit bored’.
