So over the weekend i tried an experiment that Shane recommended for us to do. The experiment was to see whether or not we were able to stay away from all forms of social on laptops, phones and other electronic devices.
I decided to only try the experiment over Saturday and Sunday but even that was stretching my limits. I wasn't able to complete the task and only made it to Saturday night before i was snap chatting and whats app-ing again.
I am part of a few group chats on social media apps and the notifications i kept receiving from these groups tempted me past my breaking-point. I really never realized how much i depend on these none essential things that have become so completely intertwined in my everyday life.
So basically it turns out there's no escape from the social media world and i am doomed to care about people's Facebook statuses and trending topics on Twitter for the rest of my life.
I was a little disappointed in my efforts and i know i really could stay away from these life consuming apps if i really gave it 100%, that is why i want to re-do the experiment and complete it with no complications.
