#TBT

TBT



ThrowBack Thursday(s)
Today is TBT!
     [definition: urbandictionary.com]

Ever see or read something in the cyber world over and over again- like a weekly trending acronym on Facebook or Twitter? 
1/2 of me wishes my web-friends would stop inventing new wordplay, the other 1/2 and perhaps that one which is more curious, wishes I knew WTF they all meant!
Coming to the lonely realization that you are one of the only friends on your network who has not taken part in the latest fashions in hashtag [#] is not so gladdening. 
My #-illiteracy began with [#tbt] aka #throwbackthursday. Everyone posting photos of themselves as kids, with friends, pets, most of which quite humiliating.
The thesis of this blog post: I had no idea what #tbt was because I have a Blackberry! As r0sesarered posted on ask.com, 


Throwback Thursday is all about posting old pictures that you liked. In Instagram, you get to snap photos, put a desired filter and transform the look of the photo. You can also share the photos on various social networks like Facebook and Twitter. The Instagram application is supported by Apple products such as iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch and all Android camera phones.

My reaction to this information was somewhat like the following:

So there you have it ladies and gentlemen, yet again another example of my outcast from society via my sad, pathetic iPhone-less life. Only two days now until I travel on into the Blackberry after life, in which I will finally read #acronyms with ease, unlike this guy. ^.
P.S. ^#TBT^
