A Date With Yourself

A Date With Yourself is an interactive experience that lets you ponder the digital footprints you've left behind over the years on social media and encourages you to reflect on how you've changed as a person.

Prepare the environment

A Date With Yourself requires the following steps for being executed correctly.
