Dear MEL Topic Readers,
My 'dry' January: What I learned from a month without social media
Do you have any idea how much time you spend on and how many times you check SNS each day? It is rewarding when you get a favorable message on your post or to your attention. It is assuring when you get a response within the expected time, which varies by person and topic. But it could be depressing if you don’t find any messages, comments, or responses when you check your SNS account. As the smartphone becomes a ubiquitous and primary communication tool, people are getting more obsessed with the tiny screen not knowing how deeply they are addicted. So, what if you shut the SNSs down for some time, say a week or month? What will you lose and gain? You will probably find what is essential and what is wasteful to your life. Here is an example of a person who gave up all her SNS apps for a month as her new year’s micro resolution.
Enjoy reading the article and think if you want to try disconnecting yourself from your SNSs.
