There has been much interest in the President’s use of social media the last few years. Donald Trump is known for using twitter in particular to express his opinon. I was coming across headlines about it today, and It reminded me of a conversation I had with a friend a long time ago.
Back when Farmville was a big thing on Facebook, the two of us starting joking around about the Founding Fathers and what they would be up to. Somehow Thomas Jefferson was immersed in his own virtual farm whilst in Wiki-Thrall. At the time we figured out what some of the others were doing, but Thomas Jefferson was the only one I remembered now.
It makes you wonder what kind of uses would historical people have used social media for? Would Martin Luther have had a blog about his religious convictions? Would Confucius use Twitter to share his wisdom? Would FDR have fireside Youtube videos?
I’m interested in what you think would be likely.
