6:35

might have taken a few more years for it

6:36

to kick start but i really had to give

6:38

it a boost but i think yeah like you

6:40

said i think you have to be um

6:42

almost see it a little bit in the same

6:44

way you'd see news you wouldn't just sit

6:45

there and watch

6:47

rolling 24-hour news because it's

6:49

exhausting it comes part and parcel of

6:51

having this sort of like form of free

6:54

like a freedom of media you can post

6:57

whatever you like so in a sense you're

6:58

always whatever you like whatever you

7:00

like but in a sense you you kind of you

7:02

don't just get one angle you get 30 a

7:05

hundred thousand angles which can be

7:18

because we do have friends in

7:20

a lot of different countries we do

7:22

travel but also we don't have people in

7:25

one place altogether so we stay in

7:27

contact with people via social media and

7:30

that is that is amazing for sure yeah

7:32

it's a good way to document your life

7:37

there you go if you have to give someone

7:39

a guide on how to use social media then

7:41

say someone wants a tic toc account

7:42

because all their friends have it yeah

7:44

what would your guide be on how to use

7:45

it

7:46

[Applause]
