It has been a tradition to say a grace before a meal in most cultures and religions. In India we make an offering of the food to the Lord and then accept it as His prasadam. However, as in other spheres of life, technology has impacted this tradition too.
Now the world is taken as a manifestation of the Lord and technology infrastructure provided by social media as the means to communicate with Him and make offerings to him. So once the meal has been laid out on the table, it is first captured on the camera integrated into your communicator. The image is then offered to the entire mankind, usually through a channel provided by one Mr. Zuckerberg. Blessings in the form of likes and wows are usually received instantly and continue to trickle for a day or two. You normally wait for the first like before you start eating.
