About this episode

The episode explores the impact of social media on a generation that grew into it rather than growing up with it.

I’m part of the last generation to remember life before social media. My first brush with it was Myspace, late in high school. Facebook launched in 2004, but it didn’t really take off until I was in college. That means my generation didn’t grow up with it — we grew up into it. We had to incorporate this new, magical tool just as we were figuring out adulthood, relationships, politics, and what we believed about the world. We were digital toddlers trying to run with digital fire.
