I guess I've been online for a lot longer than the Facebook/smartphone generation, but here are a few signs why I feel I don't belong to this era of netizens:
- I don't put up selfies or personal updates every other day on social media. In fact, I rarely post photos of myself, being extremely uncomfortable about it.
- I don't share or forward memes or social messages.
- I don't play online (social media) games.
- I still consider e-mail as a more mainstream communication channel than WhatsApp. On the other hand, I still remember instant messaging before WhatsApp became the synonym for it.
- I am slower to respond to online messages.
- I favour original content over copy-pasting the opinion or messages of others.
- I don't really stay online all day long.
- I am still sceptical of social media "news", until I can confirm the same with a mainstream source.
- I was aware of "net neutrality" and its technical implications long before it became news with Facebook's internet.org.
- And last but not the least, I still use this blog as a presence on the web.
I guess my age is starting to show.
