For the past few days, thousands of social media users have jumped on the trend that is the #10yearchallenge and many have had fun with it.

Technology commentator thinks it’s all a huge play by companies to better understand users.

He continued: “Anyone in the information technology industry had the ability to start these games to test new software.”
