According to a recent survey, at least 61% of Fortune500 CEOs are not active on any of the major social networks – Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Google+ and LinkedIn.
Working in the digital industry, around websites and social media – this initially perplexed me.
But then again, (CEO or not) is participation in social media necessary?
Off the back of my own social media hiatus, I’m going to say no.
I had a thought over my avocado and tomato omelette last Saturday morning.
Would I have bothered to cook this for myself if it wasn’t for social media?
While the actual truth is I didn’t have milk or bread – I cannot honestly say if I would have learned to cook an omelette/eggs if it wasn’t for social media.
Which leads me to my next question, has social media influenced our cooking and eating habits?
Yes.
Has social media influenced MY cooking and eating habits?
Yes and I am happy for it.
