People are renaming themselves after their social media account usernames, businesses are spending millions on marketing using them and we have even had blockbusting movies made on their creation, breaking news hits their news channels first over dedicated news channels, celebrities/politicians/royalty all use it… It’s a busy world of social media out there, just where we are going with it who knows!
