I missed the funeral of a person I knew very well because I am not on Facebook. He was a somewhat famous person - but from an older generation, a senior citizen - in this country. Since he wasn't active anymore, it took a couple of weeks for the traditional media to pick up the story and report that he passed away. By the time I read it in the paper all was over. Apparently, everything was communicated via Facebook among the circles that knew him. Nobody bothered to inform those who don't use the damn platform. "We shared it on Facebook and informed everyone!" I was told later.
