Distracting your Future?

Has social media really gotten to the point that people feel like they are alone in the world?

It may be a safe place to go where your parents can't see what you are doing or at least limit what they can see. This is also where we create a lot of our connections with people we know.

Snapchat is now one of the more popular ways teens communicate with their friends. This use of social media has taken the selfie craze to a whole new level. I can't walk down a sidewalk or sit in a public area without seeing one or two people taking selfies and sending it to their friends. 

This video I have added to the post, is really treading on Facebook, and shows one side of the story. It is a great example of how things have changed from what we did as kids to what kids do today.

It is sadly true to many people in developed countries.

Everyone is guilty of being tuned out of society from time to time, and there is nothing wrong with that. But when it starts affecting your daily life and you feel no connection to the people you are "friends" with on your social media that's where it becomes a problem.

Try giving this a shot one-day and see how this could change your life. You might be surprised at the friends and connections you can create by just being unplugged from your devices and social media.
