Thanks for my friend Joy for the photo. She paid for my ticket to Kensington Palace -- the museum part. The palace is still an official royal residence where the young royals live (in luxury?) in comfort. I thrive in touring museums and galleries. Or watch a lot of historical documentaries.
Vlogs meanwhile are a new innovation. Recorded, produced and edited by a singular content creator, they're quite eye-openers. Those who vlog are mostly the younger generation. Those in their teens and early twenties are old enough to be my kids, younger millenials born in the '90's. The most subscribed vlogger in the Phippines is a teenager. Maybe he strikes a chord with his fellow youngins, dance moves and all.
The one I regularly watch, Say, was born when I was about to turn 17, the year Lea Salonga won a Tony as Kim in Miss Saigon. Despite starting making videos at 19 and other vloggers usurping her number of subscribers, she still has a long way to go as a social media person. She's tall and articulate. Others are very "maka-masa," or project a holier-than-though image, hers is matter-of-fact. Although age is not a barrier to earning money from all media (very Kris Aquino), young people are more likely to follow and subscribe to non-traditional platforms. I don't say that because I don't have an instagram or I don't get snapchat. But maybe because we don't have a telly in the bedroom. I reckon, one television in our abode is enough. I look at my phone and go from there. Mobile phones can do anything these days
