I wouldn’t be able to contact a lot of people. I wouldn’t be able to easily book appointments or find someone to help me out with anything. I wouldn’t be able to see if there are other people in the world just like me. Initially life wouldn’t be so easy but people would stop being lazy. I would forget all about (him) and I would move on.

@Gingerbreadspice Appointments etc. should not be a problem. The question is about "social media", not official or institutional web-sites, e-mails or the Internet generally.

@ArishMell I use Facebook to book my hair appointment and wax appointments. Also to find work or reply to people who contact me about anything important. Instagram and TikTok are just for fun though.

@Gingerbreadspice I just telephone or call into the shop to book a haircut!
I am on one or two closed club round-robins but there are other ways to find more widespread information. My health-centre for example, has its own web-site for appointments and repeat prescriptions; and it contacts me by text-message when necessary. (My portable 'phone allows that but is not linked to the Internet.)
Sometimes some of my friends do talk about things of mutual interest to me as well, that they've seen on Facebook but I just let that pass by. They know I don't use the site and if they need contact me they can e-post or ring.
The nearest I've seen of TikTok are odd screen-grabs on here, and no, it is certainly not for any serious use!
