The Importance Of My Experience On The Internet

When I first embarked on my adventure with the internet I was in fourth grade.

I use it now to find friends and stay connected with what they are doing. I also use it sometimes to find recipes and about events. The way I use instagram has not changed as much as the things that I follow has changed. Instagram is my favorite social media account that I have.
