Before Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and other social media apps, how did people spend their leisure time and connect with others in daily life?


Key Points
  • The social media ban in Australia prevents people under the age of 16 from using certain social media apps.
  • Before these apps were developed, people had alternative ways to have fun and pass the time.
  • Some of these include reading, watching TV, playing outdoors, and many more.
