social media age
Online connection epoch
The social media age is the era defined by platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok reshaping how people communicate, consume information, and present themselves.
The phrase often carries a note of concern or criticism: In the social media age, attention spans have shrunk.
It implies both connection and its costs—comparison, distraction, the blurring of public and private life.
