When you've always been a geek type and can't be ars*d with FB, Twitter, Instagram, and whatever else is cool these days. 

 

 

 

 

I deleted my fb account when I was 25ish now I'm 28 and I don't have Twitter, Instagram, but I do have snapchat... I don't think that makes me old it just makes me a private person.

I've never had a FB account nor instagram, snapchat or any of those other things. My partner is into all of them. I just don't see the appeal of it.

 

I was born in 1970. Don't know if that makes me old, but I pick and choose what tech I'm into.
