@media query

If we are using Flex box as a CSS framework, under circumstances do we still still need to use @media? The framework allows your CSS to adapt to different screen sizes.

There are a few examples mentioned in Guil's videos about Flex box. One that comes to mind is when you want to shift flex-direction from row to column at a certain breakpoint. You may not want a multilayer flex container for, say, a nav element, which would happen if you used flex-wrap and shrunk your screen.

Hope this helps.
