I guess you could answer the question alot of different ways, I guess you could interpret it alot of different ways too. What is the point of instagram, social media, Facebook...... What is the point of my picture..... What is the point you reach when you say enough The masses say social media connects us, to friends, loved ones, strangers, the world. Experts have their opinions too - some for, some against, most trying to find what the popular opinion will be so they can say "Hey that's my side" Lately though I seem to find that social media connects me to funny cat memes, stylised selfies - no one wakes up that good looking - quizzes to find out which Disney character I should marry and random status updates to tell everyone how they feel every 15 minutes (some people obviously need bipolar medication) if I had that many feelings in the space of 2 hours, I would need a vacation!!! Social media has made me apathetic (I'm sure some would agree the a should be dropped) and disconnected, I take for granted that people will always be there, just because they show up on your FB feed (with or without a funny cat meme) I think I broke something important, I'm not sure but I worry that I have. I hope that I haven't, I guess we will have to see While I may not get 99 years in the Folsom pen (sorry country music joke) I do get a self imposed social media detox that looks like this: FACEBOOK 90 DAYS Twitter 90 Days instagram 30 days (guess I like you the Best) I'm tired of being tired and apathetic and disconnected :) apps will now be deleted of my phone and the only way to communicate will be email or phone ([email protected]) drop me a line, give me a call!!! Have a blast - but think about whether social media does actual make us more connected, or do we just feel connected - there is a difference and it's pretty important!!! :)
