*Instagram right for you or me?

Ya know I am a bit ashamed right now I was coerced into joining a group that I avoided for days months and years to get involved in.
Sometimes these people out there in the world make you feel inadequate if you do not acquiesce to their bullying tactics making you think you "need" to follow their desires blindly; tell me what's that all about, hmm?
So today I gave in once again to some kind of clique, clan or cult that everybody is joining supposed 2600 plus of my FB friends have joined too and felt that I needed to get with this program/ thing to complete me?
*INSTAGRAM!
I am not even sure what it does.
Is there a secret handshake or as most things here perhaps a  secret,"PASSWORD?"
Oh no!
Another one that I could forget.
Alright, research, yes I should have researched before I blindly accepted saying yes to this thing, next it goes to a screen asking me who I want to follow?
I quickly recognized two people and click on their names, Whew I made it!
But what, oh I forgot they got my email address yep I gave it to them and they welcomed me... but to WHAT?
Hold on... I need another definition of just what *INSTAGRAM is?
And I quote, the definition is: Instagram is the name of an online photo sharing social Web service that lets you share your life with friends through a series of pictures captured with a mobile device."

GEEZ! Have I been doing it all wrong all these years?
I thought that was what I was doing?
You mean to tell me no one has seen any of the photos that I posted on my timeline or here in this blog over nearly TEN WHOLE YEARS? Some were from my Cannon camera but the last few years they were from my phones!
I am INSTADEVASTATED!
Tell me it's not true!
Whaaaaaaaaaaaat?
Another superfluous device?
Not necessary!
I suppose they can block me?
Due to my blasphemy!
Good grief at least there isn't another download to use up my space! I NEED MY SPACE!
Seriously folks what makes Instagram so different from just posting photos whenever you so desire, hither and yon, any which way you can?

Again I am flabbergasted, are we such lambs that we must follow whomever tells us we must, or are these things we actually need to enhance our existence on this planet to make us better at something I have yet to find that I needed these things for, i.e. myself?

Don't get me wrong, you have the right to choose as I do too.
As many things on this techno device has happened over the years I have tried to be a polite joiner when asked.

I do say yes and so far these things have not really done harm to me or my computer I believe, but like cults it is much easier to join than to leave...can you just unsubscribe?

You see, those sites that have decorating ideas also ask for your email too, and then they keep sending you stuff, things you don't need or want, so after a while... I just unsubscribe.
Can you do that too with *INSTAGRAM, since I really do not believe I will be using it?
If you have been able please I implore you to tell me how specifically so then I will understand what I have been doing wrong all of these years, maybe or not?

Think of it as a personal test for yourself, like if you haven't used it for a year, do you really need it?
Wait, that's what we do when we clean out our closets from old clothes or our pantry for outdated dry goods? Oh wait if we decant everything, like told to do, do we still have the use by dates? Oh horrors, more worries.
But still why wouldn't that work, not used...OUT YA GO?
Be good enough to keep me in your loop... so many FB friends for months have been after me to join this *INSTAGRAM, but no one has said why?
It is similar to those games in FB, why?
I play two games only with myself, wait that sounds wrong, get your minds out of the gutter... I play dominoes and solitaire on my phone, so there! ( I just stuck my adult tongue out at you! HA!)

On that note, I am depending on you, do you use all you have joined, and if so tell me. but in the meantime allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask you all to share your blessings and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!

*Disclaimer:by this author: to *Instagram and all other similar apps or whatever category you fall under be it known that all was written in good wholesome silly fun, since we/I needed some as well as my loyal readership, I bet! Don't worry, be happy! No harm no foul *Instagram? Instagood night to all and to all do as you please!
