“Doing it for the ‘Gram” has become second nature to us. We showcase our lives on our digital profiles and craft a narrative that’s synonymous to our lifestyles. Moments before the dawn of 2020, Instagram continues to reign supreme as the app of the moment. Gone were the days of ‘Friend Requests‘. It’s all about, “What’s your handle?” now. Our Instagram profiles say a lot about the lives we lead, carefully curated in tiny square grids.
In the past decade, the form in which we consume media may change (before IG, we were all hanging out on Facebook, Twitter and Snapchat), but one thing remains the same no matter what the year and which platform we’re on—it’s how we connect with the people closest to us.
