Siccome mi hanno detto che per essere giovani non serva Twitter o Facebook che sono per vecchi ma il profilo Instagram, ne ho subito aperto uno. Mi sento già quindicenne. Ciao raga
Non solo l'ottimo Salvo! un thread che fa pensare, Io non conto, sono abitudinario e resto su Twitter (a parle la propaganda su FB). A dirla tutta ci sono altri social usati da giovani e meno-giovani, dipende 8secondo me) dall'effetto gregge). E, a differenza del Dario (ottimo) vedo che l'attenzione su ogni post dura pochissimo, meno dei 15 secondi che cita (e che sono tipici della pubblicità).
