Something you need to know about me is that I am an elder millennial. This means a couple things about the way I use technology:

  • I was ensnared by Meta in its earliest days. Now I am locked inside its ecosphere because…

  • I am tired. And I have a lot going on. So sometimes it takes me a minute to get onto the next tech trend.

Now I get why my parents are the way they are about smartphones. They have so much knowledge in their heads from the decades they’ve lived through. Why bother learning something new when you have kids and grandkids who can do things for you? LOL I digress. All of this to say: I am catching up on all the TikTok trends (no cap!1). And I, a fearless social scientist, am about to tell you which trends I’ve tried that I absolutely think hold up.
