Behind the times

I was thinking about the article to said that Twitter has reached 100 million users. I have never been on there once, I am not sure that I know how to use it. That got me thinking, I may be behind the times. I was talking to a younger person today and I could not figure out if their sense of style was one of irony/hipness or if he just really liked mullets. Again the sediment that I may be getting older occurred to me. I never thought the phrase, "kids these days" would be uttered from these mouth but I found myself muttering that exact axiom on several occasions. What pertains to media studies is this; am I missing out of networking opportunities because of my lack of social networking skills? I am beginning to slowly but surely realize the answer to that question is yes. Darn glad I am in a class to help me explore the possibilities.
